Doctors Should Seek a Second Opinion

Washington's been giving the wrong diagnosis to doctors seeking help. Docs can call Medicare when they have a question about billing. But they hardly ever get the right answer. In fact, the General Accountablility Office found that Medicare gives the right answer only 4% of the time. That leads doctors to make honest mistakes 96% of the time -- and opens them to prosecution under the False Claims Act . And nearly two-thirds of all money recovered under the Act comes from the Health Sector. (American Medical News)
