No problem; $80,000 per spinal fusion. Even if caught, they're profiting. If.
- mikeyouse 13y agoNo problem; $80,000 per spinal fusion. Even if caught, they're profiting. If. Cute, but the actual text in the law provides for penalties of either $50k or 3x the cost of the overbilled procedure. It also has provisions to bar them from ever submitting another claim to a Federal agency. So criminally overbilling for $80k could cost you $240k and your ability to practice medicine.
