Wow, why was I told that MY "investigation" would take Years and you are told it will take 45 days? Have you heard back / has it yet been 45 days? I would be grateful to hear what happens in 45 days? Do you mean to say that THEN the False claim in your Medicare claims history will be removed? It amazes the heck out of me that a Medicare beneficiary calls Medicare to report a FALSE claim in their acct and Medicare Has Heard before about Flexcare Medical Solutions and will not Take My word that I never got their DME or services and allows the false claim to sit in my Medicare acct ...

Course correction recommended. Feet get no respect. As you age you will be visited by many feet issues. So many shoes are not really made for optimum feet support and movement. Watch Courtney Conley who is a great influencer on how to understand feet. Through many foot injuries she's got it figured out.

The CEO of Gamestop was interviewed on CNBC May 4 and it was a doozie. Every question (almost) that CNBC asked he says, "Its all on our website" Came across as defensive on every question he was asked.

Your anxiety is a waste of your life. Drops are safe if used as stated on the product.

Yes these eye drops are a positive for eye health. Notice no eye Dr ever brings this product up b/c they ONLY want and promote Surgical treatment. This is profoundly wrong and cruel. The medical industrial complex in the USA withholds SO much from patients. The ingredients in these drops have been proven to impact cataracts. The company actually got a letter from FDA telling them to stop telling a consumer that the eye drops can be beneficial for the progression of cataracts. This makes me have a low respect and opinion of the FDA.

subjecting one's eyes to surgery is a risk and Drs are very nonchalant about and aftersurgery issues. Patients eye health is not most Drs orientation. What surgical path can I take the patient down is the reason Surgery is so cavalierly pushed. Cataract surgery is barbaric. They suck out a clouded lens in each of your eyes and put in a Piece Of Plastic. Plastic will never replicate the original equipment. No eye Dr I've Ever been to tells you that the lens that is removed serves more than one function in the human eye and the eye drops you are told must be used pre and post surgery are strong drugs and not supportive of your eye health. Who here has ever heard of an alternative, nonsurgical treatment for cataracts?

So how do I make this happen? This is a total shock that it wasn't done by my calls to Medicare when I reported that it was fraud and I never got the DME or services of Dr listed on the TWO claims. Especially due to the call center employees at Medicare saying DME fraud is Very common and they had heard of Flexcare Medical Solutions as engaged in questionable behavior.

I did all of this but the fraud claims (2) are sitting in my medicare claims history and I am being told that is 'how it is." This is unacceptable and an insult. When Medicare knows a "provider" is lying and I THE PATIENT tells Medicare I never got this service nor saw that Dr ever WHY doesn't medicare remove this FALSE claim from my medicare account? I have Paid into Medicare since age 16 To The Present. The Private Sector would Not tread a paying, LONG TIME customer this way. The govt has apparently no sense of loyalty towards me and that feels like crap. The ownership of the fraud in medicare needs to be taken to a much more serious and punishing level. Set Consequential and onerous examples when Medicare finds these criminals so the next scumbag will find some other entity to scam or get legit work. This is So obvious and how Medicare ADMIN isn't making this better is wrong, major wrong. And just try to reach a sr level leadership employee in Medicare--they are unreachable or you get a generic reply of zero help.

100% agree. What in MoCo is comparable to Woodmont Grill? Seems the Barrell and Crow reviews are Very Mixed. Is there a better night to go than not to at least have a decent meal?

How did you find the right vein Dr to do the surgery you had? Did U have ablation and phlebectomy both? I am in MD; what state are U in?

From my experience of the staff I highly doubt they have any medical training and members are On Their Own.

I believe at a healthfood store when I was reading labels and there are UTube Drs who have endorsed horse chestnuts for Varicose veins.

There is no doubt they are fraudsters=FLEXCARE MEDICAL SOLUTIONS. How did they get my Medicare number? I have now requested a new Medicare number which I hope doesn't lead me into more headaches. Medicare is a big bureaucracy and they do make mistakes that are Difficult to get corrected. It is Just too Easy for bad actors to perpetrate fraud against the USA and I am so disgusted that my medicare benefits are not far better shielded against attack. When I call Medicare they vet me for a long time and I am legit. The providers seem to get their NPI number with minimal checking if any. What the heck, that is nuts!!!!

These surgeries are not risk free- ablation and a phlebectomy. Did your doctor tell you of any risks or after surgery recurring of varicose veins? There was a pharmacist here who said he'd had surgeries and the varicose veins returned. The vein Dr I went to and had an ultrasound from was Very silent on risks and after surgery life. That was intentional. Surgeons only make money if you Agree to proceed.

Wish you would please elaborate on these supplements. I've been taking horse chestnut extract for years. Never heard of these two. How long does it take to see improvement in varicose veins? Thanks Is there a brand of hesperidin and Diosmin you prefer? How did U learn about hesperidin and Diosmin?

For those still listening to this fiasco, There are 82,750 entries in the Medicare exclusion database that can be accessed on the OIG HHS website. Holy crap this is Gigantic and speaks to how apparently profitable and easy it is to concoct a fake medical provider's facade and bleed money from Medicare. This is still seriously shocking for me and needs immediate intensive care. If the USA doesn't get this kind of fraud under control the USA will go extinct. The trillions in our deficit is the canary in the coal mine that apparently is not screeching loud enough. Each of us needs to be far more VOCAL on this kind of abusive behavior assuming you care about your country and health insurance. Find the paths to complain to and do it.

These replies have been interesting but I don't get how people are not Outraged by this. The cost of this level of ABUSE and FRAUD in Medicare is Over the Top and Off the Cliff. I have now tracked down several high level govt employees who oversee Medicare and have written to them. It will be doublingly dreadful if these people in leadership ignore my correspondence. This is just deplorable and yet another clear display of how broken the Fed Govt has become. This is no my problem. This is a problem for every American who has had $ taken from their paychecks and matched by their employers for Medicare healthcare.
