Podiatry fraud costs taxpayers billions each year, harms patients, and undermines trust in healthcare.
Have you witnessed unusual billing or improper practices at your workplace? Reporting skin graft fraud doesn’t just protect patients. It can reward you with up to 30% of government recovered funds.
Skin substitutes are critical for treating chronic wounds, meant to be used once per patient. Fraudulent practices, commonly referred to as “skin graft harvesting,” include actions such as reusing a single graft on multiple patients, inflating bills, misrepresenting procedures, exploiting Medicare patients, or accepting kickbacks. These unethical activities not only violate federal laws, but also undermine patient care and trust.
