Who are these”doctors” billing for these exams?
If they bill Medicare/insurance companies for these non-exams that’s fraud.
And by LAW they HAVE to bill. Even if the patient or medicaid/medicare/private insurance doesn’t pay. I actually HATE this law, because if I want to give my time and care to some indigent or poor person, I still HAVE to fill out the paperwork. The goverment would be cracking down hard on any physician who didn’t perform an exam and wrote fraudulent documents. And the one guy is I think a director of medicine. Would he teach his students to commit fraud even for a “good cause”?
