From October 2016 through September 2018, Philip Greene, MD, documented misrepresentations in medical notes for nursing home patients for services he did not perform, according to a March 6 news release from the Justice Department. 

The Medicare false claims totaled $20,000 and included claims for patients who were deceased at the time of the billed services.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
