Summary of article from MSN, by Brian New:
CBS News Texas’ investigation into alleged Medicare fraud uncovered over $200 million in fraudulent activities linked to several companies, prompting numerous viewers to report their own experiences with Medicare fraud. A subsequent report identified 11 additional Texas-based medical supply companies potentially involved in fraudulent practices. Many of these companies, such as Lone Star Medlab Laboratories and Peak Health Diagnostics, were found to have vacated their offices and disconnected their contact numbers. Aids for Recovery faced numerous complaints for fraudulent billing and had abandoned their office, leaving behind unopened Medicare correspondence. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) confirmed ongoing investigations into these companies, suspected of nearly $3 billion in fraudulent catheter billing.
