Looking to help an immigrant senior secure health coverage until he becomes eligible for medicare.

Last time I went for any medical treatment, cash-paying patients got an automatic 50% discount.

(Translation: they charge regular price for cash, double for guaranteed insurance payments that no one bothers to check on for fraud.)

What is Obamacare doing to curtail insurance scams like this?

I’m very interested in becoming a medical and health service manager. Does anyone know what education..university/college programs are available and necessary to be successful? How many years of school? What is the normal day like for a health service manager? Also, I was convicted of theft/fraud about 6 months ago, and am trying to get my life back in order. Is that something that would limit my career in this type of a position? If anyone has any tips or advice I would really appreciate it!

hi
please suggest
i recently made a international trip and had to prepond my trip because of some
medical problems…. before leaving back, i had to see a doctor (whose is actually a specialist,different than what my problem was)…….
now when i submitted the doctor forms to the insurance company, they are saying, how can i get treated to a doctor who is not even specialized in the problem i had..
what does it mean…
does it considered as a fraud or will they simply reject my claim,..
am honest here and had all proofs..
please suggest..

I have a large group of people at my federal agency that are drawing regular pay while going through medical procedures. I also have a handful of reports stating they are also working nonfederal positions; double dipping.

How could I run a search through the IRS to determine if they are comitting fraud?

Thanks

I used to work for a billing company and if they got a superbill with aprimary diagnosis that they knew an insurance company would not pay for, ie. mental problems, hair loss, obesity, but the doctor put other problems, say hypertension, they would list the medical diagnosis and omit the non covered ones. I think this is insurance fraud. If so, how could an audit be done anonymously? I would love to close them down. You can tell I have a beef with this company.

I have sole custody of my 4 kids who live with me full time. Their father is unemployed and not paying child support.

Last year I never received my refund and I found out he put the kids (whom he does not see or support) on his tax return. I filed the IRS fraud form, sent report cards, medical records and neighbor statements to the IRS to dispute his fraudulent return. What I eventually got was a notice from the IRS a couple months ago stating I would be receiving my refund, plus the 00 stimulus payment (which they also sent the ex last year)

I filed my return for this year online and it WAS REJECTED and I AM PANICKING!!!! HELP!!!!! Apparently the @ss did the same thing – he put the kids on his return again. When I called the IRS, the lady checked on last years’ return and the ex had also claimed ME on his taxes.

I work. And he put ME on his taxes 2 years in a row without my W2-s or any information whatsoever about me. How could the IRS not catch this? How could they send him a refund without MY income documentation? How could he cash a refund check with MY name on it?

I am frantic. I make only 42,000/year and my kids and I need our tax return money. I have my kids every single day of the year and every cent I make goes toward the roof over their heads, food and clothing. What should I do – please, anyone who knows what I can do, please please help. I thought I had done all the right things last year. I cannot confront the ex – he is long distance and also violent. I thought the IRS was the big bad enforcer of the law and that THEY would go after him.

My wife’s HMO just sent us a summary statement of medical care bills and payments for all of 2008.

You tell me — doesn’t this amount to grand fraud?

1. total charges [excluding double billing caused by HMO delaying for months] 33,343.80

2. Allowed by contract [also includes 437.37 that hasn't yet been been ruled as allowed or denied] 8312.78

In other words, the amounts "billed" by the hospitals, lab operations, physicians, clinics, radiologists, etc. were FOUR times the amounts they’d actually agreed to accept as full payment from the HMO.

Now, if you didn’t have an insurance company bargaining for you, the hospitals, et al, would be trying to collect FOUR times as much from you as they really expect to get, and really "should" get.

FOUR FREAKING TIMES AS MUCH !!

***
Aside: for everyone who asks in these forums about paying their medical bills — the bill is a fraud. Provider never expected to get anywhere near that much. Don’t pay it. Offer them far less — it’s all they every expected to get anyway.

[The public hospital was the worst -- billing at FIVE times the amount they'd agreed to accept. By comparison, the regular doctor was only billing 1.6 times the allowed amount. Specialists were billing from two to four times the amounts they'd agreed to.]

***
Now, if your banker was billing you for FOUR TIMES as much interest as he actually expected to collect, you’d call it fraud, wouldn’t you?

And isn’t it just as much a fraud when the public hospital district bills at FIVE TIMES what it expects to get — and then sues the poorest people [who don't have insurance] for the WHOLE FREAKING AMOUNT?

Ye Gods above — no wonder unexpected medical expense is the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. Most of the bills are frauds from moment one.

I was separated from the Marine Corps for fraudulent enlistment for lying about my asthma and I was told I could re-enlist If I applied for a waiver. I’ve recently tried to enlist into the Army but when I sent my medical screening form I was DQ’d.

I’m going to try the Navy next but I’ve been wondering, has my prior charge severely cut down my chances? Or is trying out for an asthma waiver just that difficult?
My separation was 2 years ago and I received the re-enlistment code P3

My question:: Jain hospital – Fake surgeries, faked MRP high prices in pharmacy, useless doctors …?
In Other – Health – was banned by yahoo for showing what the hospital does, is it correct?

The question showed MedPlus stoes newly launched giving a 10% discount at correct rates for example
-Gloves at Jain hospital, Blore & other big ones: Rs 34/= at MedPlus its Rs 15/= for the very same product
-Diapers at Jain Rs 360/= for a pack of 5 -pack of 10 not available – outside its Rs 400/= for a pack of 10 !!!
-A injection costing Rs 1,300/= is sold at MRP of Rs 2500/ at Jain Hospital, Blore

People please answer if it’s the right thing to have been done by Yahoo to stop bringing out the truth?

Negative comments will be from frauds of the medical comunity ripping of the general community.
The Government is sitting by idly, we will be writing to them – if more people write it would improve things to a great extent as the cheats should be treated like any other criminal who are better and do not pretend to do good to you.

I am just wondering, because I have been doing a lot of research on William Bates lately, and if his method is indeed a fraud, what is the medical/scientific reason that whenever I palm my vision improves temporarily. The improvement usually only lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes max before it steadily goes back but there is an improvement FOR SURE!

I have a snellen chart on my wall, I have the same lighting in the room before I palm and after I palm, before I can read the big E and then the two letters after, they are blurry but readable… the third row is completely blurry.

After palming for 10 minutes the second row becomes REALLY clear and I can read the third row (blurry but now readable) just like the second row before palming

It cant have to do with the light because it is the exact same, and I dont even touch my cornea to flatten it at all since I dont even touch my eyes.

I am not saying a I believe in the Bates Method but WHY is there a temporary improvement after palming??
What I am saying though is that when you palm you actually DO NOT touch your cornea, so your not flattening it at all… in fact when palming you dont even touch your eye lids!

This would really help on the war on drugs and cut down on federal fraud and child support plus we could bring back orphanges.

What do you think we could use this program to clean up our country.

We could also document aliens for deportment.

What are you thoughts on this idea or ideas?

I live in California and would like to wrk in a medical front office…is that possible w/felonies on my record for drug sales, theft and fraud. I did my time and I am no longer on parole.

to bilk people into medical care not needed and to allow them to die without legal and law enforcement protection due to ‘internal transmitters’ into food supplies.

Doctors, hospitals, and especially funeral homes are the business to be in.

If a medical dept chairman signs a recommendation questionnaire for a resident that asks if that resident has ever had any problems or been suspended and the chairman says the resident has had no problems but the chairman knows the resident had problems because the chairman suspended the resident himself, is this considered fraud?And what if this resident, after graduation, went on to be arrested for obtaining drugs through fraud? Can this department chairman still be prosecuted for medical license fraud? Who would investigate, the state attorney’s office or the FBI?

Does such an attorney exist?

When a medical facility commits insurance fraud, who should the victims repport it to and how can they can compensation for lost benefits directly related to a doctors actions.

There are many conspiracy theories, accusations of media bias on both sides, missing medical records, missing thesis, voter fraud, etc. What do you think is going to be proven and will the media tear down whichever candidate they spent time building up? Tell me who you think will get burned and who will burn them with what evidence!

We are also getting a divorce. The defense knows that I have information that will bury my husband, and if I show them what I have my husband will also be charged with fraud. It’s a crime to not testify when subpeonead, how then should I testify

What will you do about government employee theft, fraud and abuse of taxpayer money which totals close to 100 billion a year and growing?

What will you do about the Medical Industries theft and fraud from the Social Security Department?

I recently attended a consultation with my two sisters and mother with my Mom’s oncology team: seems there is a gene that she carries that could be hereditary, which would elevate our risk of cancer. Anyway, Four of us were present for this "consult"… no clinical work of any kind.
A couple weeks later I received a notice from my insurance company. The Oncology practice billed all three of our insurance companies, and medicare (mom) for a total of 24.00, for a "consultation" which lasted barely 45 minutes. I feel this is an outright abuse of the system. To what entity can I report this?

I’ve worked in insurance & the medical field & the fraud that goes on is a huge cause of high ins costs. More should be done to crack down on the people & institutions committing the fraud.

In the hospital I worked at, during a surgery case you maybe used two strips of elastoplast to hold a dressing on. The patient is charged for the whole role. This was also the case with regular tape.

My friend had a C-section & had to pay it all for lack of ins. She went over the bill & got 0 taken off it. They had charged her for a certain medication 3 x a day & she only took 2 pills. They charged her for sitz baths for her episiotomy, which she never had because she had a c-section. She found a few other discrepancies also. If you don’t see your bill, your ins co may be being charged for things you didn’t even receive.

People who milk dbl and workers comp claims are ridiculous. They don’t show up for exams causing more paperwork, etc., all costing money.

I have been trying to get on disability for several months now i keep being denied ive had cancer 2 times the past 4 years and open heart surgery 3 years ago.
