Case Study: Dr. Bales

Since I believe Dr. Bales is violating not only an ethical code but also legal laws in the process of falsifying transcription in health records. I feel it would be necessary for me to report my findings to the collections office to let them be aware of fraudulent documentation that is leading to fraudulent charging. Dr. Bales is trying to seek more reimbursement for services he did not provide which is considered theft. The collections office is in charge of sending invoices to insurances companies for reimbursement, which solidify their involvement in the fraudulent actions even if they are unaware. In the event which the insurance companies discover these fraudulent charges, the collections office may face legal repercussions for their participation.
