Questions about medicare and medical suppliers?
I currently work for a medical supplier, my boss says that Medicare can just show up unexpectedly and go through a check of what we supply. Is it true that they can just show up unexpectedly without our knowing. Second my boss has me writing his name (not signing) on surveys and checking off on signed surveys that are are blank. Is this a form of fraud? He sends this surveys to an agency that I do not know of.

I did medical front office and medical billing and coding for over 20 years. I have been teaching billing and coding for five years. I tell my students never to sign their name to any claim forms. |

It sounds like he is committing fraud. Medicare should investigate what his company is doing because Medicare is paying his claims which from many suppliers are fraudulent. Suppliers have a bad reputation right now and under the Obama administration, they are trying to recover millions in fake claims made by medical suppliers. I hope you arent going along with your boss. In fact, I hope you report this because it is our taxpayer money that is paying him through Medicare. That is one of the reasons Medicare is costing us so much. |

A medical profession is always worth considering, from nurses and surgeons right down to hospital cleaning personnel. The website in the box below has some brilliant instruction on joining this splendid line of work. My brother got some brilliant guidance from there before getting a profession as a medical admin assistant. |
