Inflating the bill to jackup reimbursement.
“did not understand...but it sounded circular”
Yep, in a way. It sounds somewhat similar to how hospitals work - they mark-up non-insurance care 5-fold over insurance care, and then when they get Illegals or other non-payers, they take that 5-fold price as a tax write-off. Rigging the system.
The only thing that surprises me here is that he’s telegraphing his intent to commit fraud.
did not understand>>> the additional tax would allow them to get more reimbursement from the feds. say the amb costs $100 and they get reimbursed at 80% they get $80 from the feds. If they add a $20 tax it becomes $120 so they get reimbursed $96 from the feds
