Chapter Case Study
"July 28, 2003: A physician from Minneapolis, MN, agreed to pay $53,400 to resolve his liability under the CMP [Civil Monetary Penalties] provision applicable to violations of a provider's assignment agreement. By accepting assignment for all covered services, a participating provider agrees that he or she will not collect from Medicare beneficiary more than applicable deductible and coinsurance for covered services."
"The OIG alleged that the physician created a program whereby the physician's patients were asked to sign a yearly contract and pay a yearly fee for services that the physician characterized as ‘not covered' by Medicare. The OIG further alleged that because at least some of the services described in the contract were actually covered and reimbursable by Medicare, each contract presented to the Medicare patients constituted a request for payment other than the coinsurance and applicable deductible for covered services. In violation of these terms of the physician's assignment agreement. In addition to payment of the settlement amount, the physician agreed not to request similar payments from beneficiaries in the future." (http://www.oig.hhs.gov).
