Medicare billing fraud is exposing patients to improper care, but records can help them detect and fight back.
A recent article by Dr. Margaret Faux reveals widespread Medicare billing fraud, where providers falsely claim to have performed services like specialist consultations when only basic treatments were given, exploiting the system’s trust-based model with no real-time verification.
Patients, such as Maeve, may receive incorrect care and only discover the fraud after seeking second opinions.
Faux stresses that Medicare records offer an accurate, unalterable account of services, empowering patients to detect discrepancies and challenge improper bills.
She urges individuals to review their records and use resources like her book to navigate the system, avoid scams, and find ethical, affordable care—highlighting the urgent need for greater transparency and accountability in healthcare billing.
