    This Special Fraud Alert addresses compensation paid by laboratories to referring physicians and physician group practices (collectively, physicians) for blood specimen collection, processing, and packaging, and for submitting patient data to a registry or database. OIG has issued a number of guidance documents and advisory opinions addressing the general subject of remuneration offered and paid by laboratories to referring physicians, including the 1994 Special Fraud Alert on Arrangements for the Provision of Clinical Laboratory Services, the OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Clinical Laboratories, and Advisory Opinion 05-08. In these and other documents, we have repeatedly emphasized that providing free or below-market goods or services to a physician who is a source of referrals, or paying such a physician more than fair market value for his or her services, could constitute illegal remuneration under the anti-kickback statute. This Special Fraud Alert supplements these prior guidance documents and advisory opinions and describes two specific trends OIG has identified involving transfers of value from laboratories to physicians that we believe present a substantial risk of fraud and abuse under the anti-kickback statute.

    In part 2 of They Say/I Say, authors Gerald Graff and Cathy Birkenstein begin the process of teaching how to present the writer’s counter-argument, the “I say.” The “I say” segment is where you discuss and offer your own argument to what they have said or wrote. The three most common ways of using “I Say” are agreement, disagreement, and a combination of the two. Graff and Birkenstein goes on to explain that when you agree, disagree, or even both, you should not mildly or incompetently do either. Be clear and concise, offer some explanation for your view. The authors present several examples of ways to effectively explain your stance, but it is crucial that you explain why you feel the way you do. Even if you agree with another’s point of view,…

    Mass Crime Lab Case

    • 564 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Former Massachusetts State Crime Lab chemist, Annie Dookhan, has been indicted on twenty-seven counts of tampering with evidence, perjury, and obstruction of justice after a legal fallout that has jeopardized thousands of drug cases (Smith). Dookhan admitted to “dry-labbing” (distinguishing a sample is a narcotic based on appearance instead of actually testing), altering test results, and “deliberately turned a negative sample into a positive for narcotics a few times”. Another way in which she tampered with the testing samples was by exaggerating the weight of seized drugs in order to cause the accused party to receive harsher penalties. As a result of the chemist’s actions, many innocent people have served jail time, while deserving criminals were let off the hook. Even though her coworkers and supervisors were suspicious on several occasions throughout the course of several years, she was not caught until 2011 when she admitted to forging a colleague’s signature on paperwork. It was not until this action, that she was finally suspended from her duties (The Living Case).…

    In the case presented for discussion described above, it was imminent that Dr. Yarnell had a justifiable medical history that supported his symptoms. Nonetheless, it can be argued the way PA Brian decided to evaluate and treat Dr. Yarnell was biased or based on personal interests. PA Brian’s medical judgment was compromised. Mutual personal motivations existed between Dr. Yarnell and PA Brian. However, as a clinician PA Brian should have impartially evaluated Dr. Yarnell by properly and examining and documenting his findings or properly redirecting Dr.Yarnell to a different clinician. If the patient (Dr. Yarnell) was never appropriately examined, how can PA Brian as a health care provider substantiate that the medication prescribed was adequate and beneficial for the…

    A gang of Russian crooks ran a record-setting, $279 million fraud that exploited New York’s “no-fault” auto –accident law, authorities said 2/29/12. The gang worked with corrupt doctors to set up more than 100 phony medical clinics across the city. There, they generated fake bills for the treatment of “injuries” that “ranged from wild exaggerations to outright fabrications,” Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara said. The fraudsters took advantage of the “patient-friendly provisions” of New York’s mandatory “no-fault” insurance coverage, which guarantees up to $50,000 in medical benefits for anyone hurt in a car crash. Police commissioner Ray Kelly sent two undercover cops infiltrated the operation about six months ago by posing as crash victims. Kelly “coached” the undercover cops to complain about neck, back and leg pain, and were then “kept running back and forth for treatments and tests that was as close as possible to the $50,000 for each officer.” The Russian gang was convicted; the various defendants face prison terms ranging from 30 to 70 years.…
