Wallingford pain medicine practice to pay $1M in Medicaid billing settlement
www.nhregister.com
“The state alleges PCA coded almost all of its claims “second most complex level of service” regardless of what care service was actually provided.”

Been wanting to take more ownership of these issues. What do you all do, in terms of DEXA, labs, meds, supplements, etc? Any good guidelines to get me up to speed? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
