Drop in the bucket with how shit the industry is
and that's fucked
Fine the metric shit tonne out of these corrupt fucks and then lock them for life. White collar crime like this needs to be punished harshly without any exit for them.
I want this to be the precedent for what happens when you prey on medically and financially vulnerable people like this.
Equipment companies would receive about $500 to $900 for each brace from Medicare and paid kickbacks of almost $300 per brace, according to the Associated Press.
I give out DME all the time and they cost between $15 and $35. This is atrocious
Holy shit. These are the same assholes who used to spam call me all the time about medical braces.
I know someone who's 4 year old went through this a few years ago. They went to the dentist and the guy said the kid needed a precautionary filling cause a tooth had grown in deformed (which it had).
They 'sedated' his kid and gave him 8 or 9 crowns. They then tried to threaten him when he started making fraud complaints.
I had been speaking with my manager about this the other day. She asked why a system like the one Bernie proposed would be able to be cheaper than the medical systems we have currently. I brought up that the medical insurance companies can often require certain types of medical devices to be of one particular brand or type. That means that as a doctor you have to charge more to others to afford that type of item, etc.
Who in the fuck are we supposed to trust?
