I just love our local newspaper and its intrepid health care reporter. The story about "fraud" is just another attempt by the Times Daily to take shots at any facility not named Helen Keller Hospital. I guess the folks at Regional Care better start paying big $$ for advertising in the paper before they get some positive press.
The lack of objectivity is just astonishing
Rot! Such twaddle you have posted! It was Coffee Health Group that cheated Medicare. That is what the story was about. If they had not cheated Medicare, the story would not have been in the TD. If Keller had cheated and gotten caught, that story would have been reported also.
Just what IS your problem? You obviously have an ax to grind.
Or maybe you just have an unusually high threshold for determining what fraud is. When Medicare is involved, it is the gummint's duty to protect the public interest, and that means recovering payments that were not legal to claim.
