If you enjoy staying abreast of the latest health informatics news, then you’ve probably heard about Engage Medical. Just in case
you haven’t, Engage Medical was a medical billing firm owned by a man named
Sanjay Puri. The firm, Puri, and three of the firm’s clients were recently
accused of purposefully overbilling patients for nuclear stress tests.
While Puri is still denying the claims stacked against him,
he has agreed to pay a whopping $3.3 million fine!
Whether Puri is lying or telling the truth isn’t what
matters. What matters is that, whether through poor
practices or simple human
error, any health informatics professional could end up in some serious
trouble, just like Puri.
You already know the importance of being an honest,
scrupulous person, but remember to be a meticulous one as well. Be careful with
all of your billing and have everything checked and double-checked. You can
even use an app like DeductorMD to assist you and make the billing process
easier and more error-proof.
If you are a healthcare clinician, are you using todays new healthcare app for Medical Decision Making, DeductorMD?
