1. I saw this report last night and had an experience with it years ago. |
|
My mother was on Medicare(in Massachusetts) and kept getting statements from Florida about supplies billed to Medicare using her name. They were very expensive diabetic supplies and she never had diabetes.
I reported it,the statements kept coming,and I just gave up.

2. actually makes me nervous for a public option |
|
but i see no reason why the grafts couldn't be fought against and eventually diminished. electronic records will help with a lot of this. we need to nationalize and digitize our medical records, no matter what comes of this health care reform debate.

3. Let me guess. No reporting of % fraud compared to total cost... |
|
Churches tend to run about 2% fraud, and that's just what is eventually caught.
