Medicare Fraud? For this bas**** to the tune of 4 mil? So disturbing, and seeing as how the left doesn't care about fraud, they call it the price of doing business, how much more of this kind of thing goes on?
=======================
A Jacksonville dentist whose office has been the site of protests from angry parents shut his office on Thursday. The dentist, Howard Schneider, told First Coast News that he had no choice but to close because he no longer has any patients or staff. According to the Times-Union, protesters contended that he pulled too many teeth and performed “sub-standard work on their children.”
There is an ongoing criminal investigation into Schneider, prompted by the protesting parents. In 2013, a parent filed a report to the Florida Department of Children and Families that Schneider “grabbed her daughter’s face several times” and slapped her. And in 2001, a woman said Schneider choked her 5-year-old son. Yet another mother said that her daughter was supposed to have a routine tooth extraction and three hours later the dentist’s office called her and told her to take her daughter to the hospital. Her daughter was found face down on the floor.
First Coast News reports that most of Schneider’s patients were on Medicaid, and that the Florida Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud unit is investigating Schneider. Schneider has received almost $4 million in Medicaid reimbursements. He later told First Coast News, ”If I made that, I worked, I earned it, I do not cheat.” He continued, ”I have not done anything except treat Medicaid kids. They’ve ruined my reputation, I am going to have to close my practice.” HLN has found a video of Schneider allegedly torturing a child during a dental procedure.
