The opposite also happens. After 3 weeks in hospital and rehab following a serious car wreck, my doctor ordered home health care. The Medicare rep came to my home, asked a few questions, and said I was not eligible. I had plans A, B, C and F. I went without a shower forv a month because I just needed someone here to monitor in case I needed assistance. I had 5 broken bones, plus cuts and severe bruising.
Medicare fraud happens in nursing homes too. I've had a DON tell me to put in total care in the kiosk for a resident who is fully independent. I asked her why, she told me that's how we do things. I went about the rest of my shift ignoring her words and did my job correctly. The next day I'm pulled in the office again and find out they had a staff member redo my kiosk imput.

I work in a hospital. Doctors usually do the proper diagnosis and treatment. Once the patient is discharged and the papers are forwarded to the office, a non medical staff (also a part owner of the hospital), would change some lab results and sometimes the diagnosis just to reimburse a higher amount from medicare. We informed the doctor about this and she resigned right away. Not worth losing her license over.
Oh my... that is horrible. None of the lab results should be getting changed after leaving the doctor! The None medical staff should be fined a pretty penny. Where is the honor and conscience of men?
Everybody in this comment sound dumb asf. U have to be seen by someone to get a diagnosis. No just by reading what u think is wrong. Because u could miss something and nine time outta ten u are wrong. The only way Google can know what wrong with your human body is by doing a blood test. And Im sure google cant do that.
Our mom was cared for my siblings and I for twelve years, we didn't qualify because dad's pentions was 1,250.00+200.00 after he pass away. We managed with my siblings contribute to support me so I could be mom's 24hrs caregiver. I had my limitations due to a back injury. We applied with honest answers; I never got paid for home care from the government. Now parcel disable, I can't get disability because I didn't work. What a shame that there are professional who use the system selfishly because of their status.

It's still going on, in all states especially the state of Florida. The doctors are crooks, the hospitals rob you blind, and the insurance companies are gangsta's. Let's not leave the dentist out. Some charging $2,200 from a post & crown. Its a vicious circus.
@@tyle5594 It's the same thing as saying you're old, i am 65, athletic, active and date. If someone were to call me granny, they had better be running the other way!
I worked in home health several years ago. We were very careful in all the care we provided. If a person didn't need us, we reported that to the doctor. I never observed any fraud. However, not all companies are honest.
Ugh, I fear for my grandma. She already told me that her doctor has prescribed so many pills that she won't even take some cause she is even suspicious 😓 How can someone with such an important position be so...shitty.
So sad I'm in America. My teeth are falling out. Most the molars are cracked and chipped, very painful to eat, but, they won't even pull them... I'm 31 years old.

@@alecfleming373 How horrible, I'm so sorry to hear that, it's in the thousands $ in the US to get dental work, but i've heard that dental schools offer clinics where students can treat you for half or even less than regular dentists, I recommend seeing if there's any in your area
I have very little respect for doctors. My father was billed over $500,000.00 for his final stay in the hospital. The geriatric doctors kept trying to sell him on dialysis until the day he died. We had already privately been told by a doctor (who was only a replacement for one day when one doctor had a golf tournament to attend) that he was in end stage renal failure, that dialysis would be a waste and to prepare for the end. What they did to my mother was even worse. Geriatric doctors see insurance and Medicare dollar signs and when a patient dies, the excuse is "adult failure to thrive." May they all suffer and burn for what they put my people through at the end.
Dr's and big pharm average killing 250k people a yr! I am 75 and don't do any kind of drugs legal or illegal, I had a physical a while back, The Dr ask what i contribute my good health to! I told him i stay away from dr's and drugs!!!!! [He calmly got up and walked and never came back]
I went in for a sore throat, I spent less than 10 minutes with the actual doctor, he told me to buy a prescription from my local drug store and I was still charged almost $400 to be told to go buy pills. BS. Ever since fighting that I diagnose myself unless it’s something serious
I know its to late for your mom & dad, But you should search the sacred plant and watch all 7 parts of it! You do know that the MD in front of dr's name stands for MORE DRUGS!!!
Protector K9 she didn’t do anything wrong? The doctor’s signature literally authorized a chain of fraudulent events leading to a nurse going to her house and a bill of over $1800 falsely being charged. She lies through her teeth saying someone else did it when it’s obvious it was her intention to cash out. But yes she didn’t do anything wrong man 🤓
@@alexr.1097 except after investigation it was found that she didnt sign the paperwork. only diagnosis the patient was given was of hypertension. medicare fraud will land you in prison; if she was a fraud she wouldnt have a license right now. all she made was 41 bucks from that visit. how much do you pay your car mechanic. Re read my original comment or ask someone else to read it to you if it doesnt make sense.
The USA should charge a fee for billionaires. When they reach $5 billion or more, then assess them $1 billion annually. They will still have their $4 billion to $176 billion each. And the US will have $614 Billion added to the annual budget. Maybe we could get REAL Healthcare.
Victor Bunch The only thing dumb here is you and your question. What about Maria’s comment is confusing to you. Unethical medical “professionals” across the country are scamming the government (Medicare is a government program) out of millions and millions of dollars by way of fraudulent medical billing. The physicians are signing off on fake illnesses and conditions in order to collect money for unnecessary services. That means the government will put in more regulations so that this doesn’t happen. They’ll start requiring more than one doctor to sign off on paperwork. They’ll cut back on the amount of services they’re currently covering to streamline the process. Doctors and nurses who are already actually honest and ethical will now be hesitant to request certain services out of fear they may be wrongly red flagged. Elderly people who really need the home health services will now have to go through a bunch of different hoops and verification processes. This then slows down the entire process because of all the new standards and guidelines that have to be met. Do you get it now?
Ruin whatmy mother died at 75 and she was taking a handful of pills she believed everything her doctor told her and he didn't give a damn about her it was money
To clarify: they mean it will ruin it for seniors because THOSE certain cases who NEED help, will now be considered “suspicious” Some people have a widowed parent who needs to stay with them, but no one is able to take care of them. Some elderly people can’t use the bathroom by themselves. It’s important to give care out like it’s candy. Medical care needs to be free in America and the closest thing to that is Medicare. If a company that makes more money than you could ever imagine gets “taken advantage of” well.... you are going to be old one day and when that happens you’ll wish healthcare was more accessible to the elderly.
Did you not notice the Dr. Had a accent ? It's ASS holes like THAT that COME HEAR and take advantage of our honer system and then ass holes like you start yelling about American's but you forgot it's OUR honer system because you have no honer.
My brother who is wheelchair bound and has cp would get his chair repaired by a man who was so mean and grouchy and would never answer his calls. One day my mom got a summary of his bill and it turns out he was billing Medicare for parts that my brother didn’t even use. He would get the parts and sell them on the side. He got fired for doing so soon after. It honestly makes it hard for the people really in need because now my brother who is indefinitely handicapped has to go the doctor every few months and get a signed paper saying he is still unable to do activities on his own as proof to the gvmt. His situation unfortunately will never change and it makes it hard for anything he needs to get approved.
An OT did this to me. Billed the government for services she never gave me. Was shocked when I found out and immediately reported her. She delayed my powerchair application with all this but luckily I’ve now had it for 2 years :)
@Kari Foster I agree to some degree. Midlevels (no and Pa ) are notoriously unregulated in USA. There is no government oversight on education, no standard of education. And to top it off they have independence in most states .
more undercover patients to catch predators like them,,,,, bring them to justice,,, they are making things harder for those who are really in need to get the services they deserve
I'd like doctors to become rich -- by curing people and making the lives of patients better. I'm 80 and I double check everything but I know many older people can't keep up with the complexity of modern medical care, insurance, pharmacy charges, details, details, and more complex details.
You can't assume a doctor is a good person just because they are a doctor. That pathetic doctor is interested in money and doesn't care about helping people at all.
What makes me SICK is seeing "Joe Namath" telling senior citizens that 'THEY DESERVE MORE" and then seeing an elderly person on a $7000 scooter saying "I didn't pay a penny" when the scooter costs no more then $2000 to MAKE. You see the ads all over TV all day long too.
This entire country needs an over haul by those of us who know the real struggle and manage to keep it together to pay bills in full and still have fun.
This makes me so angry. I have an uncle with dementia who can't get help with anything. But there are doctors pushing bs for people who don't need anything.
It’s not just medical doctors doing this. It’s psychiatrists too. I had it happen with my old one a couple years ago.... ruined so much for me when he was caught, I was promised that none of it would come back on me but it damn sure did and I’ve still not been able to get any help that I’m needing from any doctors. It’s like I’m marked now. It’s pathetic and my mental state can’t take much more. I need help!!
Yep a psychiatrist at my Heath care facility charged me 90 dollors a month for an entire year even though I only saw him once and he was awful at his job..pretty much how do you feel sign here.
I once worked for a doctor and realized he was in Medicare fraudbut when I tried to contact Medicare they wouldn't accept the information from me. I had to be the patient calling but the patients were elderly people who were not aware of it. It is sad that you cannot contact the doctor that you worked for and or had you do the billing. But Dr Jain did go to prison later for Medicare fraud.
I'm on medicaid because of a stroke and a heart attack...my Dr. keeps asking me why I even bother to come in for checkups every 3-4 months because there's nothing they can do to 'cure' me. The first 2 heart attack and stroke symptoms the wouldn't test and said it was a 'migraine' and a 'panic attack' instead of both being real. It was real. My GP also wrote in my chart that I am senile and and have dementia because of the stroke and I was almost made a ward of the state but I fought it and won. During my 3rd heart attack symptoms they did a blood test at an ER and found out I wasn't imagining it, I was having a heart attack. Now my GP asks why I'm there even tho they are the ones who tell me to make the follow up appts? He keeps telling me every year I'm gonna' die and seems disappointed when I don't. I had 3 bypasses in the last 2 years and the nurses that saw my chart saying I had a stroke thought I couldn't understand them. They dumped medicated soap onto my staples instead of cleaning my incisions and talked and laughed about me. Thank God for a good neurosurgeon who did all my surgeries and gave me some extra time and quality of life.
Time to sue the government/politicians for failing to have the proper oversight! They don't care to implement proper oversight because they aren't the ones picking up the tab!
Come on. Why do you think a lot of home health business have been shutting down. Or how about Dr. Zamora. The signs are there and you never noticed? I’m from the RGV and I’ve noticed it.
Unfortunately, even IF the doctor WAS on the level, she could not have discussed the patient's case with the news team due to HIPPA regulations, which by the way, protect the doctors in cases like this more than the patient. It's total bullshit and this doctor should lose her licence, be fined, and serve jail time.
I'm not really sure how medical insurance works in the US, but here in Canada, since healthcare is free, doctors are constantly dismissing the elderly's health concerns and they like to blame it on "it's just old age". it's terrible. My grandmother almost died from a misdiagnosis, all because the dr was too lazy to actually do tests to figure out what was wrong. She ended up in the hospital with undiagnosed pneumonia a few days after her dr told her there was nothing wrong, shes just "old". Between the US and Canada, it's one extreme to the other. These are peoples lives they are fucking with. it's really sad.
I’m sorry your experience is like that. I am a Canadian who faced health challenges that would have bankrupted most Americans, especially those without private insurance. In my experience I have never had to wait for regular checkups or emergency treatment. When a patient in a hospital, I’ve had access to immediate tests and treatment, usually within minutes of the attending doctor’s request, never more than an hour or two. Canadian hospitals use triage to assess and prioritize patients, so if you go to an emergency department for a persistent cough, you can expect that your case will have less priority than a headwound or heart attack, but you will be seen. That said, a walk-in clinic or your regular physician would give you better service for minor or chronic issues, leaving emergency departments for … emergencies. When I left the hospital after a two month stay in a private room (just fortunate) and dozens of procedures and treatments, the only thing the hospital gave me was their best wishes, no bill at all to be concerned with. One thing that the Canadian medical system won’t hand out for free is optional treatments to placate people who miss their old way of life, and believe that a given treatment will return them to their youth. I have many friends and acquaintances who have had joints replaced free of charge well into their 80s, when one might argue the investment would be hard to amortize, but that doesn’t factor into the availability of procedures. If a doctor doesn’t feel a treatment is viable, Canadians are free to seek second, third, or fourth opinions, but if it isn’t viable, then they’re unlikely to get the procedure. That leads us to a skill that both Canadians and Americans must hone, which is advocacy, both to get procedures/treatment and to avoid it where appropriate. If you don’t know how to advocate for yourself or your loved one, there is a strong possibility that you’ll be ignored or railroaded in either overburdened system. Triage often errs on the patient who expresses the most dire need, and some unrepentant liars have certainly moved to the front of the line, where more stoic patients might be bypassed. Bottom line, I have paid millions of dollars in taxes and the Canadian government has probably just about broken even on me due to my use of the medical system. Prior to my health concerns, I didn’t begrudge a single dollar of my taxes because I knew they went, in part, to people who needed the medical assistance my contributions helped enable, regardless of their financial situation and insurance status. There’s no tit for tat against the American system, the average Canadian has better access to medical aid than an American, with cheaper access to necessary prescription drugs, and pays a few thousand more in taxes than the average American perhaps, but the Canadian coverage can never be denied, and having experienced both systems, the Canadian system is better run and provides a better service.
Same thing happens with children and parents. We used to have “Medicaid” I think is what it was called for our kids at the time. Our children are healthy, nothing wrong with them. The doctor we were going to for them was wanting us to do all these test with our water source, (spring water) to ensure it was safe to drink. As if the previous generations in our family have ever had any problems with fresh spring water. She also insisted that we changed our kids diets to more unhealthy processed foods and cereals. She wanted us to use low fat milk. We use whole, on and on and so forth. My wife and I discussed the last visit we had and decided to find a new doctor. She did not like that phone call of us dropping her and wanting to find a new doctor. So she reported us to CPS. And in Virginia you are automatically guilty of all supposed accusations. That was a nightmare. Our rights were violated. Even after proving every allegation wrong. She didn’t like loosing that govt funded “healthcare”. We no longer pay for insurance. We have a doctor we pay cash to for every visit. And it has saved us over 800 fricking buck a month alone. Each visit for anything we’ve need has never been over 200 bucks cash yet. This doctor did not like losing her over played meal ticket she was abusing and reported us in retaliation. Hard to sue her though. CPS never discloses who makes said allegations. And after we proved the allegations wrong they didn’t investigate the doctor for wrong doing. They get paid for the same fucking thing !!!!!
They tried that with our well in NC too. They hate that they aren't able to fill our kids full of fluoride. The government is either absolutely obsessed with teeth or there is something more sinister going on with fluoride.
One time i went to a psyc dr because i was having some problems sleeping.she asked me if she could video me,i said i didn't mind.After telling me, 1st asking me , if i was suicidal and me saying no.she proceeded to tell me yes i was going to commit suicide.She says this about 20 times, I got up and walked out, I did turn her in to med system .I had 2 drs said they visited me in hosp., never saw them before.I caught it on billing papers, turned them in.I always ckeck my papers.It has happened more than once.
If granny really wants to do something useful she should go to work for the IRS and catch the criminals that REALLY rip us off starting with the White House!
Here in the UK, that is why the many value the NHS. It is abused in many ways, and in the private sector too. The USA would be better off with a similar to this. The Cornonavirus is showing how valued the NHS, and Boris Johnson congratulate it, he however has inclines of privatisation. It will be contested by the public.
Life in a nutshell A doctor wants u to get hurt so they make money off u A lawyer wants u to get screwed so they can help u sue them Almost everything is like that in life except for being a teacher, they really do want u to succeed
@@ChristinaFromTH-cam Maybe true now. I think there are still genuine teachers out there too. I also want to become a teacher, but without all the political agenda and crazy things. Teachers should be unbiased and the students should not sense even which political side they are on.
I worked in home health care in NC when I was a newer nurse. I was fired because I could not find a qualifying nursing skill during admissions on several patients. They company STRESSED that we must find a nursing skill on each admission.
My sister is disabled and on Medicare and bed bound and can not leave her home without assistance and she has a waiver but the home health nurses only come one hour a week and she can not get a physical therapist to help get her up and help, her exercise her legs .sometimes she needs help with nurses or someone to help move her to bathe her and to treat her sore.
There is a lot of foreign doctor's taking advantage of the United States Medicare and Medicaid dollars and sending those dollars back home to they countries. This kind of abuse undermines the people's trust.
My wife has Parkinson’s and was declared disable 2008 and got diagnosed with dementia 2014 and already progress though fortunately she stills know but cannot take care of herself specially in her hygiene, we get all the medicare benefits medication , Dr check up, hospitalization and all basic health requirements and off course her diapers which she’s in 24/7. That’s it. All she gets from her SS benefit is less than a thousand. I take care of my wife.
Last Dr I saw 2 yrs ago, was pissed off at me bc I had Medicare and he said he doesn't take Medicare! His front office made my appt, knowing I had Medicare, yet Dr took his anger out on me! All I needed was bp med and antidepressant rx. He gave me scripts for them and charged medicare $495 for that simple office visit. Medicare allowed $165 for visit. I haven't seen a Dr since. Medical profession scares me bad.

Remember when news outlets actually did reporting like this instead of trying to shove a political agenda down our throats
I was thinking that too. Project Veritas is the only undercover investigative reporting I've seen in a while.
yeah it is so terrible how channels like Fox News have completely thrown out all the facts and now they only air dangerous misinformation
I know right!

Look up the most recent mcallen arrest .. another Dr just went down for 100s of millions in fraud
People lie on their own, doctors abuse their power, the government loses millions of dollars every year, and tax payers have to pay taxes nothing new.
It's still going on, in all states especially the state of Florida.
The doctors are crooks, the hospitals rob you blind, and the insurance companies are gangsta's. Let's not leave the dentist out. Some charging $2,200 from a post & crown. Its a vicious circus.

@@Livetoeat171 I wouldn’t... I find it cute
@@Livetoeat171 Ngl I wouldn’t mind, it’s way better than calling someone old
@@tyle5594 It's the same thing as saying you're old, i am 65, athletic, active and date. If someone were to call me granny, they had better be running the other way!
It's how we respect our elderly folks
It says in the first 10 seconds that it's the producers grandmother.
I worked in home health several years ago. We were very careful in all the care we provided. If a person didn't need us, we reported that to the doctor. I never observed any fraud. However, not all companies are honest.
Ugh, I fear for my grandma. She already told me that her doctor has prescribed so many pills that she won't even take some cause she is even suspicious 😓 How can someone with such an important position be so...shitty.
That is so sad :( when I get older, I will not take any pills for ailments unless I absolutely need them.

I have very little respect for doctors. My father was billed over $500,000.00 for his final stay in the hospital. The geriatric doctors kept trying to sell him on dialysis until the day he died. We had already privately been told by a doctor (who was only a replacement for one day when one doctor had a golf tournament to attend) that he was in end stage renal failure, that dialysis would be a waste and to prepare for the end. What they did to my mother was even worse. Geriatric doctors see insurance and Medicare dollar signs and when a patient dies, the excuse is "adult failure to thrive." May they all suffer and burn for what they put my people through at the end.

Dr's and big pharm average killing 250k people a yr! I am 75 and don't do any kind of drugs legal or illegal, I had a physical a while back, The Dr ask what i contribute my good health to! I told him i stay away from dr's and drugs!!!!! [He calmly got up and walked and never came back]
I went in for a sore throat, I spent less than 10 minutes with the actual doctor, he told me to buy a prescription from my local drug store and I was still charged almost $400 to be told to go buy pills. BS. Ever since fighting that I diagnose myself unless it’s something serious
I know its to late for your mom & dad, But you should search the sacred plant and watch all 7 parts of it! You do know that the MD in front of dr's name stands for MORE DRUGS!!!
to be a doctor, one must attend an expensive medical school to be the taught the art of stealing.
Exactly! Teaching them the business model, personally.
Well stated!
These doctors should lose their license
She didnt do anything wrong. It was home health agency that falsified the paperwork. She billed for 41$ worth diagnosis of hypertension.

Protector K9 she didn’t do anything wrong? The doctor’s signature literally authorized a chain of fraudulent events leading to a nurse going to her house and a bill of over $1800 falsely being charged.

Maybe we could get REAL Healthcare.
Of course now, this will ruin it for all the seniors that really need it !
How will it ruin it for seniors?
Now how dumb is/was that,?
Victor Bunch The only thing dumb here is you and your question. What about Maria’s comment is confusing to you. Unethical medical “professionals” across the country are scamming the government (Medicare is a government program) out of millions and millions of dollars by way of fraudulent medical billing. The physicians are signing off on fake illnesses and conditions in order to collect money for unnecessary services. That means the government will put in more regulations so that this doesn’t happen. They’ll start requiring more than one doctor to sign off on paperwork. They’ll cut back on the amount of services they’re currently covering to streamline the process. Doctors and nurses who are already actually honest and ethical will now be hesitant to request certain services out of fear they may be wrongly red flagged. Elderly people who really need the home health services will now have to go through a bunch of different hoops and verification processes. This then slows down the entire process because of all the new standards and guidelines that have to be met. Do you get it now?
Ruin whatmy mother died at 75 and she was taking a handful of pills she believed everything her doctor told her and he didn't give a damn about her it was money
To clarify: they mean it will ruin it for seniors because THOSE certain cases who NEED help, will now be considered “suspicious”
Some people have a widowed parent who needs to stay with them, but no one is able to take care of them. Some elderly people can’t use the bathroom by themselves. It’s important to give care out like it’s candy. Medical care needs to be free in America and the closest thing to that is Medicare. If a company that makes more money than you could ever imagine gets “taken advantage of” well.... you are going to be old one day and when that happens you’ll wish healthcare was more accessible to the elderly.
Those doctors need to have their licenses terminated, and they need to be blacklisted
Greed is going to be the fall of America. Sad but true

My brother who is wheelchair bound and has cp would get his chair repaired by a man who was so mean and grouchy and would never answer his calls. One day my mom got a summary of his bill and it turns out he was billing Medicare for parts that my brother didn’t even use. He would get the parts and sell them on the side. He got fired for doing so soon after. It honestly makes it hard for the people really in need because now my brother who is indefinitely handicapped has to go the doctor every few months and get a signed paper saying he is still unable to do activities on his own as proof to the gvmt. His situation unfortunately will never change and it makes it hard for anything he needs to get approved.

An OT did this to me. Billed the government for services she never gave me. Was shocked when I found out and immediately reported her. She delayed my powerchair application with all this but luckily I’ve now had it for 2 years :)
This make me sick!! Dr's need to be regulated.
@Kari Foster I agree to some degree. Midlevels (no and Pa ) are notoriously unregulated in USA. There is no government oversight on education, no standard of education. And to top it off they have independence in most states .
imagine having a doctor that genuinely cares for your health
Most do
Doris IS an ACE! What a brave woman! I should only be so lucky to as healthy as her at half her age!

Honor systems will always get taken advantage of and will make it much more difficult for honest people to do their work in the future.
There should not be any honor system, especially when it comes to people, because we are all corrupt in nature.
more undercover patients to catch predators like them,,,,, bring them to justice,,, they are making things harder for those who are really in need to get the services they deserve
If they would send people copies of the paper work to see if it's true what's written by a doctor before they are paid
I'd like doctors to become rich -- by curing people and making the lives of patients better. I'm 80 and I double check everything but I know many older people can't keep up with the complexity of modern medical care, insurance, pharmacy charges, details, details, and more complex details.
You can't assume a doctor is a good person just because they are a doctor. That pathetic doctor is interested in money and doesn't care about helping people at all.
These recruiting companies should be charged and put under more regulation along with doctors.
That's why people have to vote for the party willing to put in regulations--it ain't Republicans!
' There is No Honor in a Cheaters Chair ' ! DIRTY DOCTORS ! " Responsibility Matters for All Lives " !
Of course they get the one doctor driving the Honda mini van 😂😂😂
What makes me SICK is seeing "Joe Namath" telling senior citizens that 'THEY DESERVE MORE" and then seeing an elderly person on a $7000 scooter saying "I didn't pay a penny" when the scooter costs no more then $2000 to MAKE. You see the ads all over TV all day long too.
This entire country needs an over haul by those of us who know the real struggle and manage to keep it together to pay bills in full and still have fun.
This makes me so angry. I have an uncle with dementia who can't get help with anything. But there are doctors pushing bs for people who don't need anything.
And you're saying i pay into this BS every week involuntarily?
Keep up watching for these thieves. Thank you Grand Ma, from a Disability Commissioner.
It’s not just medical doctors doing this. It’s psychiatrists too. I had it happen with my old one a couple years ago.... ruined so much for me when he was caught, I was promised that none of it would come back on me but it damn sure did and I’ve still not been able to get any help that I’m needing from any doctors. It’s like I’m marked now. It’s pathetic and my mental state can’t take much more. I need help!!
Yep a psychiatrist at my Heath care facility charged me 90 dollors a month for an entire year even though I only saw him once and he was awful at his job..pretty much how do you feel sign here.
And 8byears later not one single person arrested or charged or held accountable and it's only gotten worse.
I once worked for a doctor and realized he was in Medicare fraudbut when I tried to contact Medicare they wouldn't accept the information from me. I had to be the patient calling but the patients were elderly people who were not aware of it. It is sad that you cannot contact the doctor that you worked for and or had you do the billing. But Dr Jain did go to prison later for Medicare fraud.
I was billed wrong consistently from a Texas Dr but when I tried to report it Medicare couldn't have cared less.
I'm on medicaid because of a stroke and a heart attack...my Dr. keeps asking me why I even bother to come in for checkups every 3-4 months because there's nothing they can do to 'cure' me. The first 2 heart attack and stroke symptoms the wouldn't test and said it was a 'migraine' and a 'panic attack' instead of both being real. It was real. My GP also wrote in my chart that I am senile and and have dementia because of the stroke and I was almost made a ward of the state but I fought it and won. During my 3rd heart attack symptoms they did a blood test at an ER and found out I wasn't imagining it, I was having a heart attack. Now my GP asks why I'm there even tho they are the ones who tell me to make the follow up appts? He keeps telling me every year I'm gonna' die and seems disappointed when I don't. I had 3 bypasses in the last 2 years and the nurses that saw my chart saying I had a stroke thought I couldn't understand them. They dumped medicated soap onto my staples instead of cleaning my incisions and talked and laughed about me. Thank God for a good neurosurgeon who did all my surgeries and gave me some extra time and quality of life.
Please switch your general doctor
they say these are the golden years. i say it's only golden for the dr.
They should check South Florida.

Unfortunately, even IF the doctor WAS on the level, she could not have discussed the patient's case with the news team due to HIPPA regulations, which by the way, protect the doctors in cases like this more than the patient. It's total bullshit and this doctor should lose her licence, be fined, and serve jail time.
I already know how easy it is for s patient to sign s paper stating he ir she is fine with the doctor talking about their records.
Unbelievable. So many dishonest people.
Well HIPPA prevents her from being able to talk about someone’s health or records not that she’s a reputable dr just saying
I'm not really sure how medical insurance works in the US, but here in Canada, since healthcare is free, doctors are constantly dismissing the elderly's health concerns and they like to blame it on "it's just old age". it's terrible. My grandmother almost died from a misdiagnosis, all because the dr was too lazy to actually do tests to figure out what was wrong. She ended up in the hospital with undiagnosed pneumonia a few days after her dr told her there was nothing wrong, shes just "old". Between the US and Canada, it's one extreme to the other. These are peoples lives they are fucking with. it's really sad.
I’m sorry your experience is like that. I am a Canadian who faced health challenges that would have bankrupted most Americans, especially those without private insurance. In my experience I have never had to wait for regular checkups or emergency treatment. When a patient in a hospital, I’ve had access to immediate tests and treatment, usually within minutes of the attending doctor’s request, never more than an hour or two. Canadian hospitals use triage to assess and prioritize patients, so if you go to an emergency department for a persistent cough, you can expect that your case will have less priority than a headwound or heart attack, but you will be seen. That said, a walk-in clinic or your regular physician would give you better service for minor or chronic issues, leaving emergency departments for … emergencies.
When I left the hospital after a two month stay in a private room (just fortunate) and dozens of procedures and treatments, the only thing the hospital gave me was their best wishes, no bill at all to be concerned with.
One thing that the Canadian medical system won’t hand out for free is optional treatments to placate people who miss their old way of life, and believe that a given treatment will return them to their youth. I have many friends and acquaintances who have had joints replaced free of charge well into their 80s, when one might argue the investment would be hard to amortize, but that doesn’t factor into the availability of procedures. If a doctor doesn’t feel a treatment is viable, Canadians are free to seek second, third, or fourth opinions, but if it isn’t viable, then they’re unlikely to get the procedure. That leads us to a skill that both Canadians and Americans must hone, which is advocacy, both to get procedures/treatment and to avoid it where appropriate. If you don’t know how to advocate for yourself or your loved one, there is a strong possibility that you’ll be ignored or railroaded in either overburdened system. Triage often errs on the patient who expresses the most dire need, and some unrepentant liars have certainly moved to the front of the line, where more stoic patients might be bypassed.
Bottom line, I have paid millions of dollars in taxes and the Canadian government has probably just about broken even on me due to my use of the medical system. Prior to my health concerns, I didn’t begrudge a single dollar of my taxes because I knew they went, in part, to people who needed the medical assistance my contributions helped enable, regardless of their financial situation and insurance status. There’s no tit for tat against the American system, the average Canadian has better access to medical aid than an American, with cheaper access to necessary prescription drugs, and pays a few thousand more in taxes than the average American perhaps, but the Canadian coverage can never be denied, and having experienced both systems, the Canadian system is better run and provides a better service.
Same thing happens with children and parents. We used to have “Medicaid” I think is what it was called for our kids at the time. Our children are healthy, nothing wrong with them. The doctor we were going to for them was wanting us to do all these test with our water source, (spring water) to ensure it was safe to drink. As if the previous generations in our family have ever had any problems with fresh spring water. She also insisted that we changed our kids diets to more unhealthy processed foods and cereals. She wanted us to use low fat milk. We use whole, on and on and so forth. My wife and I discussed the last visit we had and decided to find a new doctor. She did not like that phone call of us dropping her and wanting to find a new doctor. So she reported us to CPS. And in Virginia you are automatically guilty of all supposed accusations. That was a nightmare. Our rights were violated. Even after proving every allegation wrong. She didn’t like loosing that govt funded “healthcare”. We no longer pay for insurance. We have a doctor we pay cash to for every visit. And it has saved us over 800 fricking buck a month alone. Each visit for anything we’ve need has never been over 200 bucks cash yet. This doctor did not like losing her over played meal ticket she was abusing and reported us in retaliation. Hard to sue her though. CPS never discloses who makes said allegations. And after we proved the allegations wrong they didn’t investigate the doctor for wrong doing. They get paid for the same fucking thing !!!!!
They tried that with our well in NC too. They hate that they aren't able to fill our kids full of fluoride.
The government is either absolutely obsessed with teeth or there is something more sinister going on with fluoride.
Damn Shame!
Or the doctor is a mandated reporter and regulations require lead testing in children.

One time i went to a psyc dr because i was having some problems sleeping.she asked me if she could video me,i said i didn't mind.After telling me, 1st asking me , if i was suicidal and me saying no.she proceeded to tell me yes i was going to commit suicide.She says this about 20 times, I got up and walked out, I did turn her in to med system .I had 2 drs said they visited me in hosp., never saw them before.I caught it on billing papers, turned them in.I always ckeck my papers.It has happened more than once.

The Cornonavirus is showing how valued the NHS, and Boris Johnson congratulate it, he however has inclines of privatisation. It will be contested by the public.
Life in a nutshell
A doctor wants u to get hurt so they make money off u
A lawyer wants u to get screwed so they can help u sue them
Almost everything is like that in life except for being a teacher, they really do want u to succeed
A lot of teachers only want to push a political agenda. And i do mean A LOT of teachers.
@@ChristinaFromTH-cam Maybe true now. I think there are still genuine teachers out there too. I also want to become a teacher, but without all the political agenda and crazy things. Teachers should be unbiased and the students should not sense even which political side they are on.
If someone else did this wouldn't the doctor want to speak to find out who and why it was done and to clear her name
I worked in home health care in NC when I was a newer nurse. I was fired because I could not find a qualifying nursing skill during admissions on several patients. They company STRESSED that we must find a nursing skill on each admission.
My sister is disabled and on Medicare and bed bound and can not leave her home without assistance and she has a waiver but the home health nurses only come one hour a week and she can not get a physical therapist to help get her up and help, her exercise her legs .sometimes she needs help with nurses or someone to help move her to bathe her and to treat her sore.
How would she not know anything about this. Lmao she signed it
No,the Fraudster actually signed it without her permission or acknowledgement. 🤐
The punishment is simple take away the doctor job from her.
That makes me think , that my doctor was doing this. Everytime i would go and see him, he would take at least 8 x-rays in one visit
yep, he's definitely defrauding Medicare!!
Yep
lol! Liar. Those weren't xrays. Didn't you get suspicious when his Xray machine was labeled Nikon and he had you pose on a bear skin rug atop a bed?
Same thing w/ my x, she has had more x-ray's and MRI'S than!!!!!!!!!!
thats dangerous. we are only allowed to do xrays once every six months bec of radiation.
