Last week we told you about
Drs. Sharma, a husband and wife team that made millions ripping off Medicare. But in reading the
press release we noticed the U.S.A.G for the southern district of Texas was a little confused by the terminology for a common pain injection.
It isn’t surprising, even clinicians and coders struggle with these procedures (which you notice we haven’t mentioned by name). We had to check the
Anesthesia & Pain Decisions website to be sure, but we bet there are a few pain management coders out there who will pick up on the mistake on the first read. When you spot it,
drop us a line. The first person to respond with the right answer will see their name in print and win bragging rights for the rest of the week.
