This is my approach:

Use reasonable security measures while at work. Lock the office doors at night. Don't take data home or on a laptop.

Stay off the radar. Stay away from government money. Don't be a member of a large group creating big charges. Don't try to be the top biller in your area or specialty. Practice cost effective medicine. Follow guidelines.

It's just like any other form of combat: don't bunch up so a single shell will take out a bunch of you, and keep your head down. It is not worth the effort of the thought police to go after a mouse when there is a much bigger target next door.
