Big Sentence for Medicare Fraudster

I think the doctors submitting the fraudulent charges should be held accountable not the person who bills exactly what the doctor tells her to.

I am pleased to hear that this woman was caught. I guess now she will see what it is like to live like a "normal broke person" and maybe if she weren't stealing she could've done that without owing the government over $1 million. She lived a pampered life due to her theft and it makes me wonder how she viewed the rest of society while on her high horse and honest people are working hard for their one home and maybe 2 cars if we're lucky. I put myself through school to get my MBA and I owe thousands of dollars in student loans but I live an honest life and if I have to live pinching pennies I'd rather do that than steal.

I am an Educator and a Program Manager for a well known school and I am always telling my students about medicare fraud and abuse. This is an excellent example that you will be exposed and you will go to jail. As a coder I feel this makes it worst for us who are good coder's and uphold the laws.

I'm glad to hear Medicare is finally disapproving of fraudulent claims. When I reported fraudulent claims submitted by a physical therapy provider and a physician serving a nursing home, Medicare insisted on paying the claims and told me "it's not our policy to question any claims that are submitted to us". Any surprise that we're being told the program is going to run out of money?
