Des Moines Blood Bank Faces Fraud Probe Involving Medicare
Former accountant Ed Emmons alleges the Community Blood Bank of Central Iowa and 15 area hospitals understated Medicare credits for donated blood. He says 10 to 12 pints per recipient were credited as 3, with the bank taking the rest, costing the government millions nationally. Officials deny the claims. U S Attorney Perry notes audits ongoing with final report in weeks.
