I came across something i find really interesting which is Medicare Fraud and how is beating down on the fraud. In Dallas, fourteen people took part of various frauds that came to total $103 million in false billings.
A Dr. Joseph Mewga allegedly led to about $100 million billings for health services. He was accused of singing about 33,000 prescriptions for 2,000 different medicare beneficiaries.
In Houston, seven Hospital administrators brought in patients so they could use their attendance at the hospital as part of the hospitals partial hospitalization program for mentally ill patients and only had them playing games and watching TV rather than using the billed medicare services, this scheme brought in $158 million .
It is sad to see that the people that are there to help you are taking you money and not spending the money they are given on what it is need most at.
