Organized Wisdom, How Many Unclaimed Experts Are You Exploiting? @Matthew Browning - #OrganizedWisdom Profile #endtofarms #rnchat

Matthew?

How many other expert profiles are "unclaimed" out of 5700?

How many of your "Touted" experts have no idea, they are being used?

As a Registered Nurse, Business Owner and Licensed Nurse, I'd strongly object to a website profiling me, then submitting my name, picture and likeness to promote their site.

It is especially misleading for Organized Wisdom to do this since it implies that their curators endorse the links, Drug Advertising and consumer advocacy mission the site claims to be on.

Notify your curators that they are profiled!!!!!

Feds: NH hospital to pay $2.2 million settlement - Boston.com

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center will pay more than $2.2 million to settle charges it improperly billed various federal health programs, Vermont's top federal prosecutor said Tuesday.

Of the total, more than $80,000 will go to the state of Vermont, $61,000 to New Hampshire, $1.5 million to the federal government and more than $334,000 will go to Dr. Thomas Prendergast, the former Dartmouth-Hitchcock physician who blew the whistle on the improper billing.

Based in Lebanon, N.H., Dartmouth-Hitchcock is a major teaching hospital affiliated with the Dartmouth Medical School and has a big footprint in northern New England. It discharged more than 13,000 New Hampshire patients in 2010 and nearly 10,000 from Vermont.

Prendergast told authorities the hospital improperly billed federal programs including Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans Affairs and the military's Tricare health insurance system for services delivered by resident physicians in training who were unsupervised by more senior attending physicians.

Want Medicare To Pay For Home Care? See Your Doctor : Shots - Health Blog : NPR

Starting next month, seniors getting health care in their homes will have to see a doctor to make sure they actually need the service. Otherwise Medicare won't pay.

Sounds logical, right?

Not so, says a coalition of health providers and consumer groups that complains the rule is overly burdensome on seniors and doctors.

 

Home health agencies, doctor and consumer groups say frail, homebound seniors won't be able to get to a doctor's office because of their health status or lack of doctors in rural areas.

They also worry that many doctors are either unaware of the new regulation or won't know how to comply with its documentation requirements that call on physicians to certify they or another health care provider, such as a nurse practitioner, have seen a patient for the specific reason of certifying the need for home health care.

"There is a lot of confusion out there, and patients may lose access to their care," said Nora Super, an AARP lobbyist.

The sisters collected more than $4 million from Medicare for drug therapies that were never provided, according to the HHS website.

After the FBI interviewed them, the two sisters fled, said Barbara McQuade, the U.S. attor
