I think I may have a doctor who I saw committing medicare fraud...it’s going to be interesting. They charged for two inappropriate tests...
Many doctors are ripping off Medicare like you wouldn't believe. I had a cortisone shot last month for a sore back...got the insurance statement yesterday. The charge was $1250.00 for 45 minutes plus the injection.
I showed the statement to my primary doctor, a good conservative. He wasn't shocked at all. He said this stuff is going on all the time, even with the most reputable doctors.
I agreed with him because for years and years I have noticed many out-of-whack charges on other medical bills of mine. Luckily, I have great insurance, and all my medical bills are covered totally.
The problem is that folks won't report obvious medical frauds for fear of losing their doctors, so the Gravy Train for medical practitioners goes on and on unabated.
I hope the Trump Train derails this unabated rip-off of taxpayers running into billions of dollars from doctor's overcharging and billing the government Medicare program for it.

Billing issues were simply mistakes to the tune of $190 million over 5 years in their favor. An eye doctor. 1 eye doctor stole that much. Now add up all the others stealing!
