Senate Inquiry Probes Medicare Abuse and Hospital Chains
Senate Finance Committee hearings reveal alleged kickbacks among pharmacists and therapists, billing for unprovided services, and large physician visits to nursing homes. Chains flood hospitals and nursing homes with inflated costs, stocks soar, and Medicare may cover inflated facility prices. Committee notes weak bed and service utilization reviews, potential conflicts of interest, and undefined physician payments exceeding earlier projections. Medicaid costs are accelerating beyond 1975 forecasts, with a lack of uniform doctor identifiers complicating audits.
