Health company Kyphon has been accused of overcharging Medicare by forcing osteoporosis patients to stay overnight in hospitals for a simple one-hour procedure. Sharyl Attkisson investigates.
Medicare Fraud: (Goole) Vera P. Hill and Maurice Lawrence. Ms. Lawrence has falsified records, took over Vera P. Hill's house, rented it out, while Vera (93 yrs old) is in a nursing home. Culver West Convalescent. Los Angeles, Calif. address is 2722 43rd Place. It's been reported and nothing has happen. Vera P. Hill is a retired school teacher with dementia and several accounts.
"Lured by easier money and shorter prison sentences, Mafia figures and other violent criminals are increasingly moving into Medicare fraud and spilling blood over what was once a white-collar crime.
Around the nation, federal investigators have been threatened, an informant's body was found riddled with bullets, and a woman was discovered dead in a pharmacy under investigation, her throat slit with a piece of broken toilet seat. " Mafia, Violent Criminals Turn to Medicare Fraud 10/6/9 MSNBC
Health Company like Kyphon is not the only one padding the bills. All hospitals in the USA are guilty of this fraudulent practice.
Have you ever been in a hospital? Have you ever wondered why the nurses are complaining about being overburdened, yet they are doing actual less nursing work? Instead, they spend most of their time in front of a computer pounding the codes of the padded services, materials and medicines that may have not even been administered or rendered to you as a patient?
