Medicare fraud??? Don’t make me laugh. I use a bi-pad due to diaphragm issues. I CONSTANTLY get invitations to get automatic resupplies since “Medicare will pay for it”. NO Medicare does not pay for unnecessary resupply of these items. YOU and I and all taxpayers pay for it. How many commercials on TV use that phrase to encourage you to order a product or to ask your doctor for a prescription? How many home health care nursing companies call for in home Medicare paid consults? The watchdog of Medicare (HCFA) is a joke. I spent some years working for well known companies that provided ancillary care and then housekeeping services to nursing homes. I equate these companies with used car or Rug salesmen. Back in the 90’s they started to open the door into Nursing Homes and Medicare but Congress slammed that door pretty fast. Big business with powerful lobby.
