Discussion for article #235318
“…the indictment claims that Melgen made exorbitant profits from a costly macular degeneration drug, Lucentis, by splitting vials intended for single use into multiple-use vials and then billing Medicare as if each were for a single use.”
There’s something about that I’m just not grasping. Do they mean he took a multiple-use vial, presumably less costly, and split it into single use vials and charged more that way? How does one even split a single use vial into multiple use vials (plural)?
What is is it with opthalmologists? First Rand Paul, now this?? Thank goodness the man I see is not involved in politics.
