Well-known Radiology Practice Investigated for Possible Medicare Fraud
All healthcare practices are susceptible to an audit, guilty or not. Make sure your radiology practice is prepared.
The Lindenhurst, N.Y. headquarters of Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology, a large, well-known practice, was raided by federal agents last week in response to allegations that the company was engaged in a multimillion-dollar Medicare fraud, according to an article in Newsday.
