Old news. What's the point? Medtronic, Cardionet, Boston Scientific, Etc. Etc. Etc all have been fined by Medicare. At least this company would appear to be trying to clean itself up.

Dont mistake cover-up for cleaning up. Creating duplicate reports that India scans then changing names of who actually scanned the report all while clearing the true hx of the report is just another way of LW to try and keep commiting fraud above and beyond this currant lawsuit.
 
Lifewatch is being investigated, not because they are so "clean" but because they potentially have commit fraud yet again. There are plenty of people thaqt do not like Lifewatch, the reason being is they did not and do not support their employees. HR is a joke and should be investigated. They have people in positions who are not qualified and were placed there because of private relations. They should probably test all the employees for std's.
 
Right is right. Even if nobody does it. Wrong is wrong. Even if everyone is doing it. The post a few threads ago trying to justify committing an illegal activity because everyone else is doing it is lost. You don't have a whole lot in this world outside of integrity. Individual and corporate. Once your customer base questions your integrity, either as an individual, or as a company, you will lose that customer.

Stay on point with this. This investigation is huge. If the court hands down yet another guilty verdict our competitors will have a field day. And they should. If we can't run a business ethically or legally, we shouldn't be in the business of healthcare. And if you as a manager or leader within this organization believe that it's okay to do so, your time will come. There are way too many reps in the field still doing 'shady shit', managers supporting it or looking the other way, and leadership which is lacking a fundamental understanding of what needs to be done to regain the respect of the field force and move this organization forward.
 
Agreeing with the above, however the root of the problem could be the failure of the compliance program and its leaders. Could it be that the Compliance Officer has failed to lead change of the culture and embrace true leadership, ethics, and integrity? Maybe it is not in his nature to live by true compliance and example, but to act on self interest, as he twist the
facts from black and white to meet the demands of the day. To support this theory here are examples. 1) Agreeing to establish San Fran as a center for more revenue and then bragging about it, when CMS has given guidance this is not ethical for existing companies to shift operations from one part of the country to another just for revenue gains. 2) Defending the company's action to Highmark BCBS when he knows the action was to change codes to achieve reimbursement, after claims denied. How can this be ethicall? Another fact; based on his words - is that he will push business decisions "right up to the line", to get the job done. What if he is wrong about where the line is? Lets reiterate the possible problem: Is it a lack of ethics understanding and what true leadership should be in today's healthcare environment? Not having all the facts, this could be true - however, it is very disappointing that this company has gone from being one of the first IDTFs to embrace Joint Commission and Jim Collins Good to Great Leadership in 2006 to today's reality.
 
The company knew exactly what it was doing with India, they made a lot of money using India. They should also be investigated for charging VA accounts more than they should have. They said you cant work from home at Lifewatch, but you could work from another country..how nice. Flying people from California and back all the time wasting money. Lifewatch will close down and people will lose their jobs, and the sad thing is Lifewatch was once a good company but the greed of making money off of people with health problems took over. They dont care about patients at Lifewatch, they care about MONEY and Money alone. How many patients have died while wearing the Lifewatch monitor?
 
Lee's a prick, we all know that. He'll pretend to be your friend then stab you in the back as soon as he can. What about the Swiss. No bloodbaths prior to them taking over as far as I know but since then it's been relentless with no end in sight. When did Lee join? Has it always been like this with him there or just recently? Why is he trying to get so many people fired. This is not adding up.
 
Its hard to believe all of management and upper management was not in the know with the switching of the names on reports. After all they micro managed everything. The feeling here is so dire that they need to fire all executives along with HR and regulatory in order to save the company. I say we hold a protest and get up put of our desks and walk out. I for one am looking for another job asap, the writing is on the wall.
 
May be true, but in the presence of a CIA, the company is screwed. I'm just keeping my head down and careful whoaw trailer I hitch my tractor to. I'll ride it out for a bit but recruiters are allllll over LifeWatch people knowing everyone is ripe for the pickins. Only problem is that most companies don't want the damaged goods from LifeWatch. Sad.
 
The company should require all Executives to resign, after all they are the ones responsible for the state of the company. Lets be frank, the company is awful and treats it's employees like trash. CFO and staff are probably in on the India scam, these financial people know EVERYTHING and need to be held accountable for the manipulation to line their greedy pockets.
 
Some of you seem to have first hand knowledge (sounds like you're in on the scam). Or maybe you jerkballs have too much time on your hands and Assuming all this has taken place. As stated before sounds like a bunch of low performers are having a PMS session. I'll finish my steak and potatoes while you Losers pretend to be Angels on Earth.

Ohh when you all caps FRAUD you really mean business. Still Assuming things you Dumbass!
 
What a character this one is. Never knew anyone could be so ignorant. Yes they are doing business but bad and illegal business. When a company located within the US outsources work to India that part of business can be understood and accepted. However, when the same company uses this source to perform work on government insured patients (medicare, tricare, etc) it is fraudulant under the currant laws. This is not speculation, this is fact. Not to distant in to the future you will soon realize who the real " dumdass" is. You! Follow the case and watch you fool. Lifewatch has no way out.

I guess you are assuming no one on this board ever worked for or may still work for this company and has never witnessed this fraud first hand. Interesting. I suppose in your way of thinking the relator, laywers and courts are all just assuming as well. Sounds like wishfull thinking on your part.

Only a pompous executive would say they are going to finish their steak and potatoes, hope you don't develop heart disease from all that red meat. The company knew exactly what they were doing when they switched names on the India reports..even the technicians spoke of it in the break room as it was common knowledge.many people were involved, from past management to current management. The government wants their money and they will get it..oh they will get it. 18 million was the last fine so it will be in the millions again.
