Eleven Accussed Of Scamming Medicare In Michigan

Eleven people were charged in an indictment unsealed on Thursday with "scamming Medicare to get painkillers," the Associated Press reports. "A federal indictment in Detroit says the government unwittingly paid more than $480,000 to a phony health-care business that was a front for acquiring and selling painkillers." Authorities say Quick Response Medical Professionals paid people up to $220 to be seen by a doctor and that those visits were then reimbursed by Medicare. The case also involves thousands of doses of OxyContin worth more than $5 million that were sold during 2007 and 2008. The AP noted that "the government says Medicare and Medicaid fraud costs taxpayers billions each year" (6/4).

Health Reformers Shy From Proposals That Would Limit Treatment Options

In a story headlined "In Retooled Health-Care System, Who Will Say No?" the Washington Post reports: "Although Obama and his advisers have held up providers" spending patterns as the crux of the crisis, proposals in Washington go only so far in addressing the thorniest questions about who gets what care." Two topics under discussion broach the subject: comparative effectiveness research, a method that "weighs the risks and benefits of different types of treatment for the same illness," and Medicare payment reforms that would "emphasize the overall quality of care over the quantity of treatments."
