In case you were thinking federal investigators would never be interested in your therapy claims, here are three practices from today's HHS OIG website that would likely disagree:
- Carolina Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Inc. provided group therapy services to multiple patients but billed it as pricier one-on-one therapy services: www.justice.gov/usao-sc/pr/carolina-physical-therapy-and-sports-medicine-inc-pay-790000-resolve-false-billing
- A Hawaii physical therapist billed as though he provided therapy to his patients, but it actually was provided by unlicensed staffers: www.justice.gov/usao-hi/pr/oahu-physical-therapist-sentenced-42-months-mulit-million-dollar-health-care-fraud-scheme
- NY doctor and therapist committed out-and-out fraud (and kickbacks): www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/doctor-and-physical-therapist-found-guilty-participating-30-million-scheme-defraud
