Love how you keep referring to the "Massachusetts" investigation in your filing. It is not a Massachusetts investigation, it is a Federal OIG investigation, taking place in Boston. http://pathologyblawg.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/ML-vs.-Ameritox.pdf Any particular reason you chose to file your lawsuit in Boston too? Methinks you are trying to drag Ameritox into your Federal troubles. Doubt it will work...
Uh, oh!!! Looks like some docs and treatment centers are going down for overuse of point of care cups and billing too. 36 million coming back to BC/BS of New Jersey, I'll wager: http://floridahealthcarelawfirmblog.com/2013/09/16/blue-cross-lawsuit-against-avee-attacks-point-of-care-testing/#more-943 "The case is very instructive because imbedded in it are compliance related suggestions, some of which may not be apparent to many healthcare service providers, like: Confirmatory testing of negative POCT results requires the healthcare provider has documented clinical reasons to believe the negative POCT was inaccurate or inconclusive. Clinical labs must have a compliance program to detect and prevent healthcare providers from performing unnecessary POCT and ordering unnecessary confirmatory testing. A clinical lab may not offer below market value POCT tests and consulting agreements in order to induce healthcare providers to refer tests. Labs may not waive patient financial responsibility to induce healthcare providers to refer urine specimens to the lab."

No matter what I would still rather work here than PCLS. That place has gone completely down the drain. It was garbage and is now even worse.
