Profile

Profile

Brian Bewley is a seasoned healthcare fraud and abuse attorney who helps clients navigate the complex regulatory landscape. Brian works with a wide range of healthcare and life sciences companies, including medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals and health systems, long-term and post-acute care providers, and pharmacies and pharmacy benefit managers, as well as investors who support these healthcare and life sciences companies.

Brian’s deep regulatory compliance and healthcare fraud and abuse experience includes matters involving federal and state Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law concerns and Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement and coverage criteria. He has successfully defended several for-profit and not-for-profit healthcare and life sciences companies in matters alleging violations of the False Claims Act (FCA) and the Civil Monetary Penalties Law, as well as with audits conducted by the Department of Health & Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS OIG) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Brian has also negotiated corporate integrity agreements with the HHS OIG and advised companies operating these agreements.

Previously, Brian served as senior counsel at the HHS OIG, where he was team leader for the Boston, Miami, Dallas and San Francisco regions. He was also accepted into the highly competitive Department of Justice U.S. Attorney General’s Honors Program and was appointed as a special assistant U.S. attorney by a former U.S. attorney and current federal judge. In these roles, Brian represented the government in matters brought under the FCA, the Anti-Kickback Statute and Stark Law, Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rules, and off-label marketing.
