Robyn Lynn Sztyndor, Esq., is a Florida-based healthcare attorney with more than 15 years of experience defending physicians and healthcare providers in some of the most complex legal situations the industry produces. She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of Miami and holds dual bachelor's degrees in Finance and International Business from NYU's Stern School of Business, where she graduated in the top 5% of her class. That foundation in finance shaped the way she reads a case. Numbers matter. Claim data matters. She has served as lead healthcare counsel on major Department of Justice investigations, including Operation Brace Yourself and Operation Double Helix, and works across Florida, New York, and New Jersey. She also serves as the full-time compliance officer for a large multi-specialty healthcare group in Miami, overseeing audit and compliance functions alongside her litigation practice.
This blog grew out of a recurring frustration. Too many physicians and healthcare providers arrive at legal trouble holding the same misconception: that they can simply repay an insurance company and move on. It's rarely that simple, and Robyn started writing to close that gap. Her voice is direct, plain-spoken, and grounded in real cases. She writes about billing and coding defense, federal fraud investigations, claim data analytics, and the compliance habits that separate practices that survive audits from those that don't. A question she returns to often is why good doctors end up in criminal exposure not because they committed fraud, but because their documentation never matched the care they actually delivered. That intersection of clinical intent and regulatory reality is where her writing lives.
Readers can expect posts that translate dense regulatory language into practical guidance, drawn from more than a decade of advising clients through DOJ investigations, payor overpayment disputes, and compliance program design. The recurring themes are early warning signs, risk prioritization, and what a real compliance culture looks like inside a working medical practice. Posts appear regularly and stay grounded in the specifics, because that's where the useful insight is.
