Only an idiot would attempt this against against a private insurance company when Medicare is a sitting duck. Even Medicaid is a riskier fraud target. Well, you harp about Medicare Advantage being run by private insurance companies, don't you??? You didn't say whether this was Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance fraud -- but I would wager it was Medicare. That guy dealt with more than Medicare patients...... Medicare customers are more satisfied with it than they were with their former insurance companies....Medicare has high favorable ratings... But as said, most people are weenies when it comes to dealing with doctors (doctor is always right). There's a huge hospital (for profit) in Danville, PA that I dealt with for my daughter and mother-in-law. I truly believe their billing system is designed to deceive,, I was getting bills of every color sent to any address they could find including my home, my daughters' college, my work address, and my employer, and I often received them in duplicate or triplicate.... Seniors (my mother -in-law) were terrified to deal with it and paid whatever they were told.... My daughter had had knee surgery......a year or so later she needed the same operation so I took her to the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC,,,,, I signed my name one time as we walked out the door and that's all I had to do.
