Victim Location 51501
Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
This company is contacting our patients trying to get them to agree to purchase DME (specifically a back brace) however the provider will not sign off because the patient has no indication for the use of a back brace or other DMW at this time. The company then tells the patient to just find a new doctor till you get what you want. The company also admitted to me the RN Lead on the phone that they do tell patient to just find a new doctor till the patient gets that they want.
The company calls patients at least every other day, several times a day. This particular patient is slower functioning therefore she believed she needed one because that company told her she did.
