The Cost Of Medical Testing On The Rise Due To Malpractice Fears
The rising cost of malpractice insurance and fears over lawsuits have driven doctors to order extensive testing and hospitalization for patients, especially those with chest pain. Decisions about what tests are needed and the necessity of hospitalization, especially among emergency room physicians, is being affected by the threat of malpractice, which leads to significantly higher costs for insurance companies. With the increase in costs due to extensive testing, a rise in health insurance costs are bound to follow. An initial diagnosis of possible acute coronary syndrome can lead to tests that would otherwise be considered unnecessary, and the health insurance industry is feeling the financial pressure.Health insurance costs have risen continually each year, and with the increase in medical testing, that trend is certain to continue. Physicians pay a high premium for malpractice insurance.

What is Fraud
Fraud occurs when a person knowingly or intentionally conceals, misrepresents, and makes a false statement to either deny or obtain workers' compensation benefits or insurance coverage, or otherwise profit from the deceit. The key to conviction is proving in court that the misrepresentation or concealment occurred knowingly or intentionally. Premium fraud and benefit fraud are the most common types of workers compensation fraud. Premium fraud is usually committed by an employer who misrepresents the amount of payroll or classification of employees, or who attempts to avoid a higher insurance risk modifier by transferring employees to a new business entity rated as a lower risk category. Benefit fraud is usually committed by: a worker who works full time at an unreported job and draws benefits when he or she is supposed to be unable to work, or when a worker fakes an injury; a health care provider or attorney who assists the worker in fraudulent schemes, participates in double billing...

Do you wonder where your money goes each month?
Do you struggle to find money to invest for retirement, emergencies and other financial goals?
Here are 10 tips to cut your spending and stretch your dollar to the max:
1.
Consider dropping your home telephone line.

Cut back on trips to Starbucks or other premium coffee shops.
