I tried to blow the lid off OIG 12-06 opinion with gi kickbacks and stark laws

Actually spoke to the attorneys at the OIG office 3 different times in 2012 and than 2016. It’s a long tedious process. The time to get my 10% of the 2 billion fine was 2013. That’s all I really wanted. 10%

So much corruption plus laziness in govt officials not enforcing or selectively enforcing kickbacks

Now the OIG through lobbying efforts have reverse their decision after 9 years of back and forth

Same here - In the past I've reported egregious things including surgeons who never show up to the hospital at all and have their residents do the whole operation unsupervised, and also surgeons who had surgeries going simultaneously at two different hospitals. But oddly no reporting agency seems to care.

I maybe wrong but I feel that they just pay the fines because in the grand scheme of it all (no pun intended) they come out ahead anyway…

Yeah in my opinion they should go to jail - which is an available route for Medicare fraud. Paying a mere $15 million is essentially nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Good for you guys for speaking up.

I see it every day. Mainly ortho and spine running concurrent cases all day every day. Attesting to being there for the critical steps, but in fact the attending just stays in one room and never steps foot in the other. Blatantly fraudulent. Everyone knows it is happening but no one cares.

Why even have fellows if you can’t run 3 concurrent spine rooms? How else are you going to make $2-3mil/yr?
