The owner and CEO of LabTox, LLC, pleaded guilty to health care fraud. LabTox performs urine drug testing services and fraudulently billed Medicare for the urine tests. Understandably Medicare was pissed. Approximately $1.8 million of taxpayer money went down the drain. When contacted by the FBI, they told the LabTox CEO, "Urine big trouble." If this is not an exhaustive list of puns, please add yours in the comments. https://lnkd.in/geiBU7PJ #Fraud #HealthCareFraud #urine #urinetest #drugtesting #drugtest #FraudPodcast

This is why we continue to develop better practices against fraudsters through the latest regulatory statutes and anti-kickback and Stark-Law. In my last post you will find how physicians believe these anti-fraud statutes and laws are outdated and in some way are hurting their profession. 🤔 I think as a profession of principles and moral values you need to support the delivery of the Anti-Kickback and Stark-Law to avoid the below problem 👇 #supportStarkLaw #supportAKS #nomorefraud

The Department of Justice recently sentenced a DME company owner for a $87 million healthcare fraud scheme involving illegal kickbacks to generate Medicare business. The owner and co-conspirators billed for unnecessary equipment and received millions through this fraudulent practice. Why You Need a Law Firm: This case highlights the dangers of even unintentional violations. Complex regulations and ever-changing healthcare landscapes can lead to costly mistakes. An FDA regulatory law firm can help you navigate these complexities and ensure compliance. Darshan isn't just an FDA lawyer – he's a pharmacist with over 20 years of experience!

I help healthcare and related businesses to develop and execute strategies for improved financial and regulatory results. (Strategy Guide, speaker, trainer, mentor.)
It’s concerning to see the number of false claim settlements rising. This is a great time to look at three things: 1. The effectiveness of your compliance and monitoring program; 2. Your orientation and training process (with a focus on documentation quality); 3. Your company’s leadership and business strategy. (What message is your team getting from you?) Get your team on safety ground!

Over the past decade I have had the privilege of working on a number of laboratory cases (UDT, Genetics, etc.) and each was fascinating and had lots of winding roads. However, in 2023, One of the largest healthcare fraud cases in history came to a close with the sentencing of Minal Patel to 27 years in prison. The case below was part of Operation Helix... Patel's genetic testing company, LabSolutions, defrauded Medicare of over $463 million by collaborating with patient brokers, telemedicine firms, and call centers to target Medicare beneficiaries. The company promised to cover certain genetic tests for cancer, even when they were not medically appropriate, necessary, or reasonable. Patel personally profited more than $21 million from the scheme during this period. The case itself resulted in charges against 35 individuals responsible for over $2.1 billion in losses. LabSolutions billed Medicare for more than $494 million. In addition, the government seized approximately $30 million in bank accounts from Patel, as well as luxury vehicles, including a Ferrari and a Range Rover. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring healthcare fraud is brought to justice and the need for vigilance in the industry. #healthcarefraud #medicare #genetictesting #justice

Reducing waste, fraud and abuse in Medicaid is also critical. As a first step, states should ensure Medicaid rolls are up to date while enacting temporary lockout periods for those committing Medicaid fraud in addition to criminal charges. The nationwide rate of improper payments has reached 40% in some states owing to failure to verify eligibility. This cost taxpayers nearly $81 billion in 2022.

During Medicare annual enrollment, be cautious of scams such as fake insurance companies, telemarketing calls, and fraudulent websites. Protect yourself by verifying the legitimacy of any offers and never give out personal information to unsolicited callers. #MedicareEnrollment #ScamAwareness
