The Bellevue Hospital accidentally billed Medicaid for the "treatment" of a corpse for his organs. The hospital has applied, as if the body was treated like a living person. Other examples included a doctor requesting the execution of the requirements of his dead patient in his office, and Medicaid card of a deceased patient was used at three different dentist offices in one week.
The Office of the Medicaid Inspector General said, "We do not want the billing providers for dead people. "No one can really argue with this argument, but a lawyer representing a pharmacy in Greenwich Village will reveal a plausible argument in New York Post . He said that the requirements of many pharmacies are sent to homes nursing monthly for Medicaid patients. There may be a period of time before the pharmacy is informed of the death of the patient causing Medicaid to be billed for services.
Miscommunication can be the biggest reason for these disturbing Medicaid claims, but the New York cost nearly $ 1 million last year. Some may not believe these funds are worth fighting for, but could save money from crucial state in the long term.
