Big question is did Villages Healthcare already know about
the billing error? I don't think they did.

To my knowledge, neither TVH nor their outside auditors knew

"The public" didn't discover anything. Humana, doing their due diligence in acquisition negotiations disagreed with the method TVH was using to bill, which had been approved by a different outside auditor. This triggered reporting to CMS

seems stacked against the average busy person who just pays bills. .

time for dental codes to be shared here on TOTV by dental service provider per plan. . .
there is power in numbers

You should Google your CPT codes listed on your medical and dental EOB's to see if they match up to what treatment you received and your diagnosis code(s). It doesn't take that long.
