28 Million Planned Parenthood Fraud Suit
[link to blog.alliancedefendingfreedom.org]
Planned Parenthood, in violation of the standards of medical care, eliminated this follow-up examination and mailed a one-year supply of birth control pills to clients who had only been seen once at a Planned Parenthood clinic. The result was that thousands of unrequested and unused birth control pills were mailed to clients, often without their knowledge and consent, and then billed to the Medicaid program.
. . . Planned Parenthood took advantage of the complex, but not closely managed Medicaid program by buying birth control pills for $2.98 for a 28-day supply and was reimbursed $26.32 per 28-day supply by the Medicaid program. In addition, Planned Parenthood ignored complaints from local doctors that it was over-prescribing birth control pills without a doctor’s oversight.
Once Planned Parenthood began to mail a three-month supply of birth control pills to clients, Planned Parenthood continued to mail additional three-month supplies of birth control pills to clients for more than one full year without any follow-up examinations. Often, clients had moved and left no forwarding address and the birth control pills were returned to Planned Parenthood by the Postal Service. Nevertheless, Planned Parenthood billed the Medicaid program for each shipment that was returned and, without crediting the Medicaid program for the amount already billed, resold the birth control pills to another client and billed the Medicaid program for the same pills.
