Medicare Fraud

One question that begs to be asked is in a national audit how many DO NOT RESCUSITATE ORDERS are supposedly lost or ignored...One thing that needs to change is that Medicare itself needs to stop paying billions of tax payer dollars for services when a patient said NO. If a DNR has EVER been signed medicare needs to reject all billing for that patient. I wonder just how many times the facilities would screw up then. If they had to eat the loss. Think about it all the hospital has to say is there was confusion over the DNR and they get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for services their clients have said they do not want. Medicare requires that every patient that has medicare recieves a list of patient rights...one of the rights listed would be the right to decline medical treatment. I say if a DNR is produced the hospitals cannot bill regardless. It would be refreshing to see these hospitals get audited on this alone. How much money are they making off the dead? Hospitals are supposed to help uphold their patients rights , not exploit them...
