| | United States v. Mackby |
 | | Medicare pays for physical therapy services under Part B "when rendered by a physician, by a qualified employee of a physician or physician-directed clinic (whose services are rendered ' incident-to' a physician' s services), or by a qualified physical therapist in independent practice." Medicare Bulletin (Chico, CA), Mar. 1993, at 22. | | | The court further found that because Dr. Mackby' s PIN was placed in boxes 24k and 33 of the reimbursement form, Medicare was led to believe that Dr. Mackby was providing the physical therapy services for which Asher Clinic was billing, or at the very least that such services were rendered "incident to" his supervision. | | | During the partnership, Asher Clinic billed Medicare Part B for services provided to Medicare patients by various physical therapists employed by Asher Clinic, using Leary' s PIN. |

| | Richard G. Lugar, United States Senator for Indiana - The Medicare Prescription Drug Plan |
| | When Medicare was first established, prescription drugs were not a large part of health care costs. | | | In the interim, a prescription drug plan will be established to provide Medicare beneficiaries with a drug discount card, and to provide additional assistance for low-income beneficiaries. | | | If you find you still have questions about the new Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or anything else, please do not hesitate to contact me with those questions or concerns. |

| | USCA1 Opinion 04-1753 |
| | We are careful to say that Lahey does not argue that the United States may not recover overpayments, only that it has chosen the wrong approach in doing so. | | | A 1998 audit by the IG found the same problem in claims for clinical tests performed by hospital laboratories serving outpatients. | | | However they in no way displace or limit the underlying ability to bring the independent claim for recovery. |

| | United States Senator Mark Dayton Has a Novel Idea: Members of Congress Should Receive a Drug Prescription Plan No ... |
| | But the prescriptions in Canada -– the medicines there are the exact same medicine in every respect, except they are 12 to 20 to 25 percent of what they cost in the United States. | | | DAYTON: The discount drug card is basically that, as I understand it, nothing more than what is already available in the market, where you can buy or obtain a discount drug card which gets savings of 10 to 15 percent or so. | | | But that’s exactly what the Republicans wanted to avoid, and what the pharmaceutical industry wants to prevent -– efficient management of the Medicare expenditures for prescription drugs. |
