We are trying to understand how certain financial issues affect small
and mid-sized healthcare practices. We are interested in physicians
(including specialties), chiropractors and dentists. The two segments
we are interested in are practices of approximately one to five
practitioners and practices of approximately six to 20 practicianers.
If possible, we would like the answers to address each of these
segments separately. You must provide clear and accurate references to
supporting documentation for answers.
What is the estimated percentage of physicians who encounter fraud in
a given year and during their career? What is the average amount of
the fraud? What is the primary source of the fraud (e.g., staff
embeslement, patient fraud, identity theft, etc.)?
Additional can be paid for outstanding response. |
