Genentech Offers Secret Rebates for Eye Drug
Genentech Offers Secret Rebates for Eye Drug
(OP)
I just read the news about the top Medicare billers and this story from years ago is somewhat linked to the Medicare billing story.
How is this practice not illegal? It amounts to a kick back scheme.

If we do this on products / materials that we specify on our projects, I think our licenses would be yanked by the State board.

The fact that he almost exclusively prescribed this product in what appears to be inflated amounts just to take advantage of the system, however, is quite questionable.
It's not a case of "if" we would lose our license. Just how fast it would take to clear the state boards.

The scheme on that story that I posted is different. The prescriber is the one reaping the rebates not the end payer, which in that case is Medicare (or the taxpayers). So by following along their scheme, I should be able to specify say, a specific brand of steel deck then receive a rebate from the mfr (if they offer one) and be on the clear? I don't think so but this is exactly what those doctors are doing.
