Beginning with Operation Brace Yourself, the Department of Justice launched widespread and comprehensive prosecutions of individuals and companies through the durable medical equipment world. Drawing on their experience as two of the leading prosecutors in "Operation Brace Yourself" and the follow on takedowns in 2019 and 2020, the panelists will provide unique insight for those in the home medical equipment industry.
