In my opinion, the Medicare Fraud Department is a joke. It's purpose is a publicity measure to make people think that the Government is trying to eliminate fraud. The problem is that, there is so much fraud with Medicare, with totally inadequate resources to prosecute it, that reporting fraud to the Fraud Department is a waste of time. There are so many fraudulent Medicare claims that there is no need to have a Fraud Department. The money would be better spent hiring prosecutors who will actually prosecute and punish fraud.

Also, if Medicare said they had other complaints about the company, why did they send them $5,600 of taxpayer money?
