Supporting those who do the right thing
Stop patient abuse and fraud in healthcare
Patient abuse
Patient abuse comes in many forms. It is truly sad how many licensed professionals can turn a blind eye to abuse or, worse, rationalize it and allow it to continue.
The under reporting of abuse in mental health facilities is another chronic problem.
Billing Fraud
Is your agency participating in billing fraud? Billing fraud comes in many forms.
In hospital settings, patients are sometimes kept in the hospital simply because their insurance covers it. Some hospital refer to releasing a patient before their insurance days are used as “days on the table;” implying that money is left of the table by sending a patient home.
In other cases it can be in the form of substandard care or billing for services that were not provided.
