Top o' the line billing could have been performed, without question, without the child patients, and just think, the billing would have become an instance of medical neglect, giving cause for extended lengths of stay in foster care and grounds for termination of parental rights.
That's alright, though. I am sure they will read this post, and restructure to implement my recommendations.
'Dirty' dentists drilled
Nearly two dozen dentists connected to the alleged Medicaid mill Dental Plaza were hit with criminal and civil charges yesterday for their role in a $16 million scam.
The 22 dentists, some of whom collected more than a $1 million each from the state over a four-year period, are accused of conspiring with alleged mastermind David Ibragimov to pay down-and-out Medicaid recipients as much as $20 to lure them to his clinics, according to papers filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
Four dentists were charged with criminal grand larceny and insurance fraud, according to the attorney general. The others were charged civilly.
It is illegal to give Medicaid patients gifts as an inducement to get treatment. Dental Plaza operated at locations in Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx. Dentists at the clinics had to turn over two-thirds of their Medicaid proceeds to Ibragimov via three shell companies, prosecutors charge.
