A local business is currently being raided for what the Department of Defense tells WSAZ.com is a multi-million dollar billing fraud investigation. So the Department of Defense now investigates medical billing fraud?
What, was the Department of Education SWAT team too busy to handle this one?

The only reason I can figure the DoD is involved is because it might be TriCare related?

I hope not... But it’s hard to say in this day and age...
Maybe they were providing VA services and bilking the military.

Just the tip of the iceburg. I would venture to say that a majority of the medical billing to the gubmint has fraud in it. Also all those nice hospice services. Check them out... they are the worst. They hide behind serving the terminally ill and bilk the gubmint out of millions.

A private business would have caught this after the 2nd or third repetitive bill.
Our underpayed Federal employees figured it out after 120+.

Not raided by DOD, but was probably fraud in billing DOD Tri-Care
