Case study:Is Dr. DoGood Doing Well?
Dr. DoGood is a physician on the Gulf Coast trying to establish his practice. His idea is to give $3.00 to FEMA housing inspectors for each person's name and address that they are able to provide him. Then he will prepare a letter to each person, offering his physician services. If that person comes into his office for a service, he will give an additional 5% of the Medicare-billable amount to the FEMA inspector making the referral. What problems do you see with Dr. DoGood's proposal? Be sure to discuss issues of regulation and compliance
