A medical spa- San Jose Chiro of San Jose, California- is
now facing charges of medical billing fraud. The spa allegedly gave away “freebies”
to its clients, freebies like manicures, massages, pedicures, and other
beautifying treatments.
Unfortunately, those treatments weren’t really free, at
least not for the customers’ insurance companies. The spa was allegedly billing
these services as “chiropractic services” and managed to steal around $7
million in a little less than a year and a half.
Unfortunately, fraud stories like this one are not uncommon.
While you would probably never knowingly commit any type of fraud, mistakes in
billing and/or coding could potentially get you charged with fraud, especially
if they happen often.
To avoid getting yourself in any kind of accidental “hot
water,” make use of the great mobile medical apps that are available in today’s
world. They make billing and coding so simple that mistakes become a problem of
the past. One of the very best mobile medical apps, designed specifically for
this purpose, can be found at DeductorMD.com.
If you are a healthcare clinician, are you using todays new healthcare app for Medical Decision Making, DeductorMD?
