Many "For Profit" Home Health Care Providers and Retirement Communities Have Developed Medicare Fraud, Medicaid Fraud, and Medicare Kickback Schemes Where Patients Do Not Receive Medical Care That is Billed to Medicare or Medicaid by Texas Retirement Community Home Health Care Medicare Fraud Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Medicare home health care providers are a booming business as more and more people are becoming eligible for Medicare and are requiring home health care services.  As such, some home health care providers including physicians, dentists, nurses, physical therapists, chiropractors, hospice providers, tansportation providers, home health agencies, medical equipment suppliers, laboratories, skilled nursing care agencies, and other medical providers are systematically committing Medicare billing fraud to increase their profits.

These "for profit" health care providers have turned traditional health care services into large health care for profit billing machines where they bill for services not provided and for drive by pop in services as they walk through a nursing home or retirement community.  These assembly line medical providers will often heavily advertise in a retirement community and sign up several Medicare recipients or have a deal including possible kickbacks with the owners of the retirement community to be the sole provider of a health care service in the community. 

Once the provider signs up numerous recipients for health care services, the fraudulent provider will then bill for everything they can and not provide the billed services.  These Medicare and Medicaid fraudulent billing practices can include the following:

  • false billing for X-rays, blood tests and other procedures that were never performed

  • falsifying a patient’s diagnosis to justify unnecessary tests;

  • giving a patient a generic drug and billing for the name-brand version of the medication;

  • giving a recipient a motorized scooter and billing for an electric wheelchair, which can cost three times more;

  • billing Medicare or Medicaid for care not given;

  • billing Medicare or Medicaid for patients who have died or who are no longer eligible for Medicaid;

  • billing Medicare or Medicaid for care given to patients who have transferred to another provider;

  • transporting Medicare or Medicaid patients by ambulance when it is not medically necessary;

  • requiring vendors to “kick back” part of the money they receive for rendering services to Medicare and Medicaid patients (kickbacks may also include vacations, merchandise, etc.);

  • billing patients for services already paid for by Medicare or Medicaid;

  • billing Medicare or Medicaid for phantom patients;

  • double billing Medicare or Medicaid for services;

  • upcoding services for increased Medicare or Medicaid payments.
