medicare fraud
So I arranged for a visiting podiatrist to see my mother. She has terrible feet and legs and cutting her toenails was one thing I just wasn't going to do.
I told my father ahead of time that medicare would pay for the evaluation and that their insurance (really good) would pay for any future visits.
So what does he do? He checks off diabetes so it can be covered and had the doctor order special diabetic shoes for my mother. ack.
I told him to call and tell the podiatrist he made a mistake.
Sheesh. They get all their services for free. The one time I am not there when a visiting health care person is there.
And so it goes.
