Collection plate on Sunday....

I remember when I was a kid and my mom thought I should be a nun, (quit

laughing!!), anyway, she also thought my brother should be a priest, (believe

me, THAT is funnier)...one of the comments that was made as an enticement?

" You'll make really good money and not have to pay for your living...house, car,

all living expenses are paid for...even your food...the only expense will be for

you 'personal things " ....of course, that was the early 70's...I'm sure it was a

fluke...

Catholic religion is still awesome though..IMHO!!!

Wouldn't any sort of settlement, etc, be a matter of public record anyway?

And Gene...if they aren't??

Pre-payment review gives CMS almost a full year of hold before paying claims.?

Let's say an employee gets fired for repeated call-outs and verbally being rude

to patients and families.? They make a call.? The government swoops in, seizes

records, does an audit and finds some irregularities so they put the agency on

pre-payment review.? The agency has a 60 or 70% m-care payer mix.? They go out

of business,?75 people are unemployed.? The owner, who was trying to run a

responsible business is smeared, and when it is all over, 3 years later, they

are able to show there were no irregularities, no fines were levied, but how

does the damage get rectified?

Andy is absolutely correct.? We ALL have to be extremely diligent.? You don't

have to know you are violating CMS rules...the statute states " if you should

have known " .? This is a high bar to achieve.?

It is easy to assume they are " greedy, sleazy, lowlife owners " ...but what if

they aren't?? There is this saying...man I have a hard time remembering it

exactly... " guilty until proven innocent... " ; no wait...that isn't it.... " hang

'em and if no wrong-doing cut 'em down " ...no that's not it...

You?legal types?on here help me.... " innocent until what???? " ?

Really....and lawyers? So based upon the line of work someone has, they can't

have nice things...then why get all up in arms about paramedic wages? A

paramedic cries they don't get paid enough but has two brand new cars in the

drive way in front of their house they own...must be something wrong there huh?

I know of a scumbag preacher who drives a very nice car, so does his wife.Â

They live in a very nice house in a very nice gated community. BTW, this

scumbag has been blessed and has written some books...he doesn't take a salary

from the church...as a matter of fact, he has paid back the salary the church

paid him over the last 20+ years and continues to give everything above his

needs back to the church....but that stupid scumbag still drives a nice car.Â

He has never cheated on his wife, his kids are grown and have respectable jobs

and haven't been in trouble with the law...but that nice car in the driveway

tells another story doesn't it!

The fact of the matter is each and every industry has its trouble makers,

problems and scumbags. They also have their good people who do things

right...and many many people are wrongly accused of violations of law that is

thrown up as leading stories on the news and front pages of newspapers...and

" hot " topics on email lists...then when the truth comes out, it is printed 12

pages into the paper, doesn't make TV and is somehow chided on email lists as

" not being done right " .Â

I tell you, it is difficult to be on a list with some many perfect, no mistake

making people. The bar is pretty high...I mean I'm just a guy who tries to do

his best but somehow still makes mistakes...and sometimes those result in

consequences that are very very regrettable...but I guess no one on here can

relate to that....

Re: Re: Greater Dallas Not Paying Employee's.

Hey, there are things known as class action suits. See a lawyer. I don't

know whether or not the statute of limitations has run. But if they have ANY

assets you might be able to get them. Another technique is for every

employee to file a separate suit against them for back wages up to the

jurisdictional level of the Justice Court. That can be done without a lawyer.

Hit them

with several hundred suits that they have to either defend or have default

judgments. Once a judgment is final, it can be abstracted and filed, and it

latches onto any property they have. They couldn't sell a house, for example

without paying the judgment.

Oh, and beware of preachers. Mother they ain't. Scumbags SOME of

them are. I go by the " car test. " If a preacher drives a high-priced car,

he falls into the scumbag category.

Dudley,

Why do you always insist in interjecting facts into the conversation?

Don't you know that screws up the formation of a lynch mob?

If they are not guilty, then they should be exonerated.

Is it, in your experience, that the government " swoops in " on one complaint?

I am under the impression that when these raids are made, they are done

under a search warrant. It requires a showing of probable cause to a

magistrate

in order to get a search warrant.

So at least there is probable cause to get a search warrant before a raid.

I am told that the bar is quite high for these sorts of search warrants.

Dudley has a point. Often the accusation is enough to ruin someone's

Eventually being exonerated is a Pyrrhic victory indeed.

In some ways this is like being accused of child molesting or abuse,

guiltily until proven innocent and still no one really thinks you are. I once

had a

chance to be a Partner in a small ambulance firm after much thought I balked

at the offer for a few reasons but one of them was the " fear " of this type of

thing. granted I regret that decision on a regular basis as this small firm

was eventually purchased by a larger outfit and well the 3 guys that were

partners (I'd have been the 4th) made shall we say a killing.

Dudley,

Just because no charges were filed does not necessarily mean that the

investigation produced no evidence of wrongdoing. The U S Attorney evaluates

each

case in terms of a number of criteria. Failure to prosecute does not

necessarily equal exoneration. Right now I'm told that the USA will not take a

case

that involves less than $1 million in fraud. That's why some owners are

incorporating multiple companies, running them under the same name, but

spreading

out the billings to keep them under the $1 million figure.

Also, the USA can decline prosecution for a number of other reasons. So one

must be careful what conclusions to draw.

That said, it is well known that an exoneration lacks media sex appeal, and

doesn't merit page one coverage. That's wrong, but that's life in the big

city.

There is no doubt that there are some unscrupulous prosecutors out there

(See: Nifong). There are also unscrupulous investigators, but I have not

seen

evidence of that in the actions of the task forces that are now operating in

Texas. There are multiple agencies involved, including FBI, IRS, CMS, DSHS,

and the Attorney General of Texas. It's hard for me to believe there is a

conspiracy to ruin honest business people, but stranger things have happened, I

suppose.

Miscarriages of justice happen, sadly. I believe that most investigators

and prosecutors try scrupulously to maintain fairness.

It takes far too long for these cases to be resolved, granted. Sometimes

the wheels of justice turn agonizingly slowly.

As a lawyer, it hurts me deeply ever to see an unfounded prosecution or

someone's life ruined for no reason. If that happened to your friend, there

should be a way to make him whole. Unfortunately, Congress has not seen fit to

set up such a program.

Gene,

The case I am familiar with that involved a raid was off of a complaint that

illicited a review of paid claims that then led to a raid.? After 18 months, no

charges were filed, case was closed unfounded and no newspaper or television was

ever contacted.? The owner was exonerated...of course he was financially

damaged, his company was out of business, his reputation was destroyed in the

community in which he had been a business leader and the 40 or 50 people he had

working for him were cast off into the wind...

So, yeah...he was exonerated and never paid a fine or spent a day in jail...but

18 months later it really didn't matter.?

Again, not saying everyone is clean and golden...but when we start calling names

and jumping to conclusions because of something the justice department has

done...we need to be careful...its funny Gene, we always have

these?rubber-necker ohh and awww sessions?based upon the raids but when the

newspaper articles get published about the prison sentences and fines...they

seem to go by almost completely non-commented upon.? That is when we should be

hooting and hollering...that is when truly we know a greedy, sleazy, low-life

owner has stolen from Medicare and is getting what is coming to them....

Gene,

I agree wholeheartedly...but one must also not be so fast to ASSUME guilt

because there is an investigation.? The case I mentioned earlier is one...in

addition, in a previous life, I have been a part of a company that was audited

by HCFA in the early 90's and was placed on pre-payment review.? The methods

used are ridiculous and like I said before, puts the agency as GUILTY until they

prove their innocence.?

I realize there is a difference between innocent and not prosecuted...believe

me.? BUT that doesn't give us the right to jump to conclusions about the

character or motives of those who are put under the spot light.?

The problem with the methods of investigation that you described below is that

it won't catch the bad guys attempting to make a profit illegitimately...but it

does catch good, long standing companies who make mistakes.

I would bet there isn't an agency represented on this list serve that if their

claims were reviewed in a CMS audit or investigation by the US Attorney's office

wouldn't be found to have wrongly billed CMS or been wrongly paid by CMS and it

wasn't caught.? The bigger the agency the more likely it is a significant

number.? This is the whole problem....and now folks are talking about the

federal government taking care of all healthcare....nice....

Anyway, for fun, if you see a small agency violating CMS rules and regs (drive

around Houston for a couple hours and you will probably see it)...call CMS and

report it.? Better yet tell them you are from " Agency X " (insert any large

transport agency for X) and wait for them to tell you they don't care about the

2 or 3 trip a day guy....they are going after the big fish....the problem....the

big fish aren't the ones purposefully attempting to defraud the government....so

again negative reinforcement for doing the right thing....aaaarrrrggghhhhh!!!!!
