This is a true and very sad story as reported by CBS news last year; a man robbed a North Carolina bank to receive medical care in jail. I really wish he would have called his local insurance agent first because there are other options. If you can’t afford a low-deductible plan and don’t have [...]

The charges? $225 million in false Medicare claims! From doctors and nurses to owners and executives, they’ve all been charged. Charges include cash kickbacks and claims billing for procedures [...]
