Orthopaedic Surgeons Accused of Medicare Fraud

Interesting article in yesterday's Chicago Tribune about a lawsuit regarding a group of orthopaedic surgeons at Rush University Medical Center who have been named in a lawsuit accusing them of Medicare fraud by overbooking surgery schedules with unsupervised resident labor. Will be interesting to see how this shakes out but apparently a whistleblower case rather than an investigation initiated by Medicare.
