While working at the medical office where you are a reimbursement specialist, you notice that a Medicare patient has many more laboratory tests done than a non-Medicare patient. Consider these questions in your initial post to the Discussion Board.

• What is the difference between fraud and abuse?

• Could this be a case of fraud or abuse? Why or why not?

• Is it appropriate to notify your office manager?

• How would you go about investigating this particular case? What would you review?  How would you proceed?

• What is the impact of having fraud and abuse occur at your facility?
