Nursing Home I Work for Is Overcharging
The Nursing Home I Work for Is Overcharging
One area that is most subject to fraud is the healthcare field is a nursing home. It is estimated that as much as 10% of Medicaid and Medicare spending is fraudulent. With government health programs spending close to $1 trillion each year, that means as much as $100 billion of taxpayer money is fraudulently diverted into the pockets of scammers.
You can help put a stop to some of that medical spending fraud! If you are an employee of a nursing home, or hospital, then you have special access to how things work behind the scenes. You can help stop the fraud from progressing. But how do you know what charges are fraudulent? It’s hard to catch them unless you have inside access to what actually happens in the nursing home.
For instance: a resident of the home has physical therapy twice each week. However, the charts show that the same resident had physical therapy 3 times each week. This “phantom billing” causes the Medicaid or Medicare program to pay out more than what is actually being used.
Other methods of fraud are when the nursing home charges for name brand medication, but dispenses generic medication. Or perhaps the medical provider bills for more hours than were actually delivered.
