NJ Doctor Pleads Guilty to Bilking Amtrak Out of $1.4M
My heart aches when I read about these cases. I am glad that the Editor includes these in his blog. I cannot understand how or why some DPMs would believe that they are not being observed, and that their billings are supposedly private. It is important to say this outright: "A computerized search of your billings for the last 5 years can be obtained by almost any examining authority in as short a time as 20 minutes."
Any pattern of abuse can be identified in about the same length of time. If I were surmising which DPMs get involved in these illegal projects, I would suggest that they are probably NOT members of the APMA and do not read this blog. In that respect, they are extremely naive and have "beliefs" about modern medical practice that are completely mistaken.
YOUR BILLINGS TO NOT HAVE GOVERNMENT PRIVACY. ANY EXAMINING AUTHORITY CAN PRINT THEM OUT AND GO OVER THEM AS SOON AS THEY THINK THERE ARE IRREGULARITIES.
If you are considering entering into some kind of conspiracy to collect for procedures you did not do, please jettison that idea immediately, while you still can. If you are involved in one of them, you may still have a way out, by contacting a healthcare attorney, following their advice and making arrangements to refund the stolen money. The Government may still allow you to practice if there is a way you can pay it back. But of course, I cannot guarantee that.
The one thing I can promise is that there is no privacy for your billings and that you will eventually be discovered. If I can prevent one DPM trying to do this, this note will be worth every word. I have served as both a Medicare auditor and have also been audited.
