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.

Where did his staff go, and are they under investigation? They should be.

A sad business indeed.  And a sad, silly-ass commentary from you.  From a story about a crooked dentist, you make a huge jump to blanket condemnation of the "left."  Where do you come off saying the "left" doesn't care about fraud like this and regards this kind of fraud as "the price of doing business"? Check this out:

 

http://www.politicususa.com/20...llions-year-row.html

<<<According to a report on The Health Care Fraud Prevention and Enforcement Act Team’s (HEAT) performance released Monday,  for the second year in a row, Obama’s plan to attack Medicare Fraud reaped recording breaking results.

 

The Feds recovered $4.2 billion of taxpayers’ money last year from legal proceedings, settlements and penalties. In 2011, joint efforts to attack Medicare fraud resulted in a record of $4.1 billion dollars. That is compared to the $2.86 billion recovered in 2010 before Obama’s policies to attack Medicare Fraud existed.

 

In May 2012, Medicare Strike Force teams charged 107 people, including licensed health care professionals in seven cities, who were allegedly involved in schemes involving over $452 million in false billing.

 

In 2011, the same teams charged 115 people, including health care professionals, companies and executives for suspected participation in Medicare fraud schemes that involved over $240 million in false billing.  In another case, 91 suspects were charged for their alleged involvement in a Medicare fraud scheme that involved $290 million + in false billings.>>>

<<<The Obama administration said on Monday that its efforts to combat fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs were paying off as the government recovered a record $4.2 billion in fiscal 2012 from individuals and companies trying to cheat the system.

 

For every dollar spent investigating healthcare fraud over the past three years, the government recovered $7.90, according to a report released on Monday by Attorney General Eric Holder and

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

 

This was the highest three-year average return on investment in the 16-year history of the federal Health Care Fraud and Abuse Program, the report said.>>>

Where do you come off saying the "left" doesn't care about fraud like this and regards this kind of fraud as "the price of doing business"?

================================

From years of listening and reading the lefties making the claim. Even after I pointed out even your leader obummer said there was fraud and waste they, especially one old mooching lefty, still claimed it was the 'price of doing business' and of course messing with it meant the right hated the poor and all that other socialist lefty crapola you all spew. Of course we all know obummer has no intention of actually doing anything about fraud and waste, he's too busy signing up even more on the government dole.

Even after I have given you solid  PROOF of the highly successful fight against Medicare/Medicaid fraud by the Obama Administration, you continue to rave and rant with the same old silly-ass accusations. The crapola is coming straight from YOU!

 

What is there about THIS that you can not understand?

Do the math.  That 16 years goes back through the Bush  Republican administration.

All I know about that is that you have claimed that someone on the left has made such a statement.  If you will put it up here in the context in which it occurred, I will comment on it.  Link please! Source please! Just you blithering out an ASSertion proves nothing and provides nothing worth responding to..

Not sure which is more pathetic, contendah, who can't follow a discussion, claiming obama gives a flip about waste and fraud, or jt, the one that has no clue about anything he posts, and can't or won't research a thing, and I can tell has no idea of the numbers, chiming in and telling contendah it's my opinion!!! Again jt, this is why researching is so important, This man should have been reported BEFORE he was forced to close because of the bad treatment of his little patients, and his staff should be investigated too. He couldn't defraud medicare without help.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — There is new information about a local pediatric dentist accused of harming his young patients and not performing procedures correctly.

Many of Dr. Howard Schneider's patients were on Medicaid.

As the investigation into Schneider continues, we've learned over the past 4 years, almost $4 million dollars in Medicaid reimbursement were paid to his practice.

The Florida Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud unit has opened an investigation into Schneider. The investigation started after last month hundreds of parents and former patients took to Facebook calling for the dentist to shut his doors.

Most of the Medicaid reimbursement money was paid in 2012 and 2013.

We do not know how that compares to other pediatric dentists across the state who receive Medicaid money. The Agency for Health Care Administration, which manages the data, has not been able to provide us a list of the highest earning dentist across the state.

First of all it's Medicaid, not Medicare when posting about the children. I had both on my mind, along with SS disability and other programs because all are so full of fraud and waste, (billions a year) and I kept posting medicare. Secondly, I don't care what you look at. Stay ignorant for all I care, because like I posted, lefties don't care about fraud and waste.

Where in the world was I shown to be wrong and by who? Where did I 'blow up'? What is it with you lefties accusing people of being angry or hostile, bitter, whatever, just because they post something you don't like? You all do that as much as you play that race card, which is constantly. I could say you blow up, but actually, although you do get pi**y I think you whine, pout, and get defensive more than anything. I honestly do not care what you do jt. You can research or stay ignorant.

Thinking how he treated the kids is the most disturbing part if it's true. It's hard to believe he slapped someone's child or they heard their child screaming in agony, or all the other horror stories  and no one did anything and the doctor wasn't confronted or even attacked before this. Too, they should be investigating his staff. They had to be there while this was going on.

Proof of what and where? All I see is proof of what I posted about you and the rest of the lefties. Do people tend to 'blow up' a lot around you in real life? Do you ****le in your undies a little if someone raises their voice? Do you understand that instead of 'blowing up' I laugh at you and the rest of the dumb*** lefties that post here? I see you as jokes. I wouldn't intentionally go or stay around people that might provoke me to the point of 'blowing up'. I guess a lefty doesn't understand that, because you/they're always finding reasons to blow up, complain, lose it, whine, pout, cry, sulk, file lawsuits and accuse others of being mean to them no matter where they are. I think you really do know that instead of blowing up I am making fun of you and you have nothing to come back with but your silly accusations.

Do a search if you're so interested. It's out there. Did I ask you to comment? I don't give a rat's patootie whether or not you comment. Your comments aren't worth anything anyway. You're always confused, you can't keep up with who posted what, and you're always yapping about 'assertions'. I'm not wrong, so why would I admit such a thing?  I don't have to offer you proof of anything.
