Abstract
- The article discusses findings gleaned from the publication's analysis of computerized records of Medicare payments in the U.S. By law, physicians receiving Medicare payments cannot be identified by name. Special attention is paid to an unnamed family medicine practitioner in the New York City area who received over $2 million in Medicare payments in 2008, and whose billing records suggest she may have committed fraud.
