Fraudulent Billing, health and medical assignment

/in /by

I need help with a Health & Medical question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Dr. Pearson has recently been hired into the Central City Internal Medicine Group as its fifth physician. He has recently completed his residency and is eager to enter private practice. Dr. Pearson is introduced to Meredith and Dawn, two members of the billing staff for the practice. Unbeknownst to Dr. Pearson, Meredith financially assists the practice in several ways. She bills procedures by using individual codes instead of comprehensive codes, she has decided to bill Dr. Pearson’s services under the Medicare number of Dr. Craig (another Central City physician) until Dr. Pearson’s credentialing process has been completed, and habitually submits a claim more than once if she isn’t sure whether or not it has already been submitted.

Name the types of fraudulent billing that Meredith is conducting. (Name the specific Act)
Could Meredith be held liable for these activities?
Is Dr. Pearson subject to liability although he doesn’t know Meredith is conducting these activities? (Is Dr. Pearson responsible for the behavior of his staff?)
Once Meredith’s activities are discovered, how should her conduct be addressed by her employer, Central City Internal Medicine? (What action might her supervisor take against Meredith? Consider what she learned as a new employee)
What should Central City do to ensure these types of problems don’t occur in the future? (Look at it from a perspective of new hires. What should be done so they know this type of action is wrong?)

Can you help me understand this Health & Medical question?

Use the case study from Week 2.

Read the following case study.

You are a staff nurse working in an intensive care unit and assigned to care for a 75-year-old man who had coronary artery bypass graft surgery four days ago. The patient has a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbated by heavy smoking. His postoperative course has been difficult, and he has suffered a number of setbacks. Staff members, despite their diligent efforts, have not been able to wean him off the ventilator since the surgery. He has required frequent suctioning throughout the shift, and he is being evaluated for the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Today, when returning from lunch, you observed that an experienced nurse was suctioning your patient. His secretions were thick, and you observed that the nurse was instilling saline into the patient’s endotracheal tube as she was suctioning him. The patient turned red and began coughing, and it was obvious he was in distress.

You asked the nurse why she was instilling saline into his endotracheal tube. She replied that this was being done to loosen the secretions. You told her this was no longer an acceptable practice. She stated that she many years of critical care experience and she didn’t care what anyone said, that the only way you could loosen the patient’s secretions would be to instill saline. She also said that would be the last time she would do something for one of your patients while you were at lunch.

Outline the strategies you will use to search for evidence related to best practices for suctioning and whether the instillation of saline while suctioning is an acceptable technique.

Search for evidence related to best practices and provide a summary of all evidence.

Develop a PICO question for the instillation of saline during endotracheal suctioning.

Consider how you could apply PICO to problems in the workplace to influence things in clinical practice.

Submit your search strategies, search results, and PICO question and application to clinical practice as one of the following:
