Truly insane levels of fraud!
18% of home healthcare billing nationwide is coming from one county in California …
The fraud being exposed in California is INSANE
- 18% of THE WHOLE COUNTRY’S home health care billing is coming out of Los Angeles County
- One doctor billed the government $120 million in a single year claiming to oversee 1,900 patients
- With almost 2,000 hospice agencies, Los Angeles County has more than 36 states combined and 30X MORE than the whole state of Florida and New York
“How is that possible? And take a look at this map, a cluster of 287 hospice providers, in a two-mile radius, some in strip malls, unmarked buildings, even a wrecking yard and vacant lot. All of it is just paperwork. I could fill that out in Kazakhstan if I want and get a hospice license waiting for me.”

The science has not changed—and neither has the #AAFP position. Vaccines do not cause autism. Patients, health care clinicians and the American people should be able to trust their government for credible, science- and evidence-based health information. bit.ly/48AlBZE

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

I was pleased to join NPR’s @npratc to talk about childhood vaccination, the threat of measles and how important it is for us to build relationships with our patients.

9/ Payment models that emphasize quality over quantity, and patient-centered vs transactional care are the most significant trend in healthcare
@AledadeACO makes these contracts possible for groups that normally lack the scale, capital, know-how, and tech to tackle them

After a year-and-a-half of the pandemic, Mississippi is facing another COVID surge, with hospitalizations there increased over 450% this month, and doctors & nurses are exhausted.
@OmarVillafranca visited a hospital where fatigue is one of many concerns for frontline workers.

Today is Equal Pay Day and I would like to draw attention to the fact that female primary care physicians are paid 25% less than their male counterparts. And, there is a 17% differential in base salary. We must do better and @aafp will lead.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention relaxed social distancing guidelines for schools, saying students can now sit 3 feet apart in classrooms. The advice represents a change from the 6-foot standard that forced some schools to remove desks. apne.ws/rHc7gJl

#Tianeptine, an over the counter dietary supplement, became a Schedule II controlled substance in AL on March 15th. It will not be available to purchase over the counter. It works on opioid receptors in the brain and can create similar symptoms to opioid use disorder/withdrawal.
