The federal grand jury investigating allegations of Medicare fraud at CoxHealth is scheduled to conclude its session this week, according to an article in this morning's Springfield News-Leader.
The news of the investigation was first revealed in the June 8, 2005, Turner Report.
In that article, this blog revealed that two former Cox employees claimed they were fired because they cooperated with the federal investigation into possible criminal activity by hospital officials.
The two claim Cox used an illegal method to jack up Medicare reimbursements for patients, and paid kickbacks to doctors who referred patients to their dialysis center, but did no other work for the money.
