    Is it not obvious after doing your speadsheet that something is awry? Doesnt it look obvious that many of the lost accounts have gone to a few labs that have deals with your current employees?

    I do understand that you need proof. Dont your attorneys and investigators know how too do that?

    The story needs to be told and retold until something is done. Rukes are for the masses. Small grouos of individuals should not be able to take advantage, especially of a multi billion dollar corporation.

    Good work Soldier! sooner or later the executives in Teterboro will get the picture. The shareholders paid a hefty price, much to much to get it taken out the back door by their own reps.

    Leadership in TBR is clueless. If they knew what was going on, don't you think they would have stopped it months ago?

    No, not when they need to gather their facts. They want too know that they are on the right side. When they corroborate the facts, then they will pounce and most probably sue for damages.
    Sometimes deciding to take the easy route ends up being the wrong route.
    However, maybe you are right and TBR decides to look the other way. It is possible.

    Think your Medicare fraud is out of sight? Feds are turning to data and a strike force to find you
    Posted August 13, 2018 at 05:55 PM | Updated August 13, 2018 at 06:10 PM

    The headlines are attention-grabbing: labs bribing doctors for patient referrals, physicians submitting bills for work performed by unlicensed employees.

    Traditionally, prosecutors say, most of the federal Medicare fraud cases in New Jersey start with a whistleblower or a law enforcement investigation that turns up wrongdoing after the fact.

    Not anymore.

    The U.S. Attorney's Office, their counterparts in Philadelphia and the Justice Department's top criminal prosecutors on Monday announced the creation of a Regional Medicare Fraud Strike Force officials say will let them identify and hunt down those abusing taxpayer resources while they’re in the act of committing their crimes.

    Assistant U.S. Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski, joined by New Jersey representatives of the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said prosecutors in the District of New Jersey will now be bolstered by prosecutors from the Justice Department’s Criminal Division in Washington — along with the resources of the division’s data analytics unit.

    It’s the latter tool federal authorities in the Garden State say will play the biggest role in tackling epidemic levels of health care fraud some estimate costs taxpayers $100 billion a year nationwide.

    Justice Department officials said their data identified the District of New Jersey as one of the top 10 federal districts with the highest risk of Medicare fraud.

    “This is the home of the pharma corridor,” U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said, noting the state also hosts some of the country’s top medical providers.

    Healthcare fraud has long been a focus of the state’s federal prosecutors. A U.S. Attorney’s Office investigation of now-defunct Biodiagnostic Laboratory Services netted a total of 53 convictions — 38 of them doctors — for an expansive Medicare kickback scheme that made the company approximately $150 million.

    The company’s president and his brother ultimately received prison sentences of six years and 43 months, respectively, for orchestrating at scheme to bribing doctors to refer their patients to the Parsippany-based lab for bloodwork.

    More recently, prosecutors have secured well over a dozen convictions for a scheme in which public sector workers in Atlantic City area obtained often unnecessary prescriptions for specially-made creams and ointments from a so-called “compounding” pharmacy, which is able to bill health plans higher-than-usual rates for the custom medication.

    Prosecutors said the unidentified pharmacy would then kick back to the conspirators a portion of the health plan’s payment.

    Unmasking crooks by following the numbers
    The strike force model isn’t new, as the Justice Department has set up similar programs in conjunction with regional federal authorities in 10 major U.S. cities. Its fraud section’s Data Analytics Unit is, however, having only been created last year.

    The strike force model, the department has said, uses data analysis to “identify aberrant billing levels in health care fraud hot spots – cities with high levels of billing fraud – and target suspicious billing patterns, as well as emerging schemes and schemes that migrate from one community to another.”

    Carpenito said his office doesn't have its own data analysis unit and hasn't had that kind of information readily available in the past.

    As examples of what sorts of Medicare billing information might trigger scrutiny, Sandra Moser — the acting chief of the Justice Department’s fraud section — told reporters at the U.S. Attorney’s Office Monday that investigators can note how frequently medical providers are billing for certain services or medications, and what exactly they’re billing for — such as the high-priced custom medications in the New Jersey compounding case.

    “At its most basic, that’s what we’re looking for,” Moser said.

    The proof, the prosecutors said, is in the pudding: A nationwide takedown in June saw 601 people chargedeight of them in New Jersey — as a result of investigations in 58 federal districts led by the Justice Department's Health Care Fraud Unit and its various strike forces.

    All American Medical Pharmacy, run by one of the Letco Brothers, was one of the worst offenders in this compounded pain cream and custom vitamin scams.

    Manny at Sherman must be working hard on all these accounts. I hope he is doing a great job for you.
    Knock, knock, oops, you've been served.

    Btw, other labs involved also. Lenco, Quality, Accurate. Some even sending to multiple labs.

    Teterboro:

    ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION?

    This is serious, $185,000,000, Why?

    Composing the next list of accounts, this is ridiculous. So easy too find out. More widespread than initially thought.

    What the hell is this Executive team doing?
    Do you purchase organizations and let them run themselves?

    Have tou not looked at the metrics, reports. It's glaringly obvious!!!

    I know of many conversations that are happening, however, maybe that is all you do. Speak about the problem but let it continue.

    Well, it wasnt your money, only that of the shareholders, no big deal.
