Great info and I'm against welfare fraud as much as the next guy, but most of these violations are interns and clerks making gross mistakes on coding with no criminal intent. Or they are hospitals making errors using old or incorrect overhead cost factors or figures. No doubt there are bad players with intent to defraud and the book should be thrown at them. No surprise concerning fraudulent "scientific" studies sited, we've seen a lot of that in the last decades. Thanks for the info.
