Report: Medicaid Probe - William Sherman - New York Daily News
Playing an expensive version of Beat the Clock, some medicaid psychiatrists routinely dismiss patients after a 10-minute chat, then bill the city for a full four's psychiatric examination. One doctor charged $700 for 25 hours of work in one day and sometimes, the Health Department said, bills are paid for patients who were not seen at all.
Description:The eighth installment of this Pulitzer-prize-winning series exposing medicaid fraud by New York Daily News reporter William Sherman reveals how medicaid psychiatrists bill patients for hour-long visits when they routinely last about 10 minutes.
