Standard of care generally refers to that care which a reasonable, similar professional would have provided to the patient.

When Dr. Cheat plagiarizes, it harms his own reputation by showing others that he is not credible nor competent at his job. Plagiarism is like lying. Dr. Cheat lied to the pharmacy and the therapeutic committee when he pretended that he came up with a presentation when he actually didn’t.
Here, Physician’s notes fall within the FRE 803(4) as the medical diagnosis exception because these are offered to prove his medical diagnosis and treatment rendered to Kenny. The same exception applies to Dr. Parish’s acceptance of the patient. Therefore, the physician’s notes and the statement regarding Dr. Parish will be admitted.

With an objective view, it will not be considered as the pertinent information for diagnosis or treatment of Kenny, but rather construed as the information served only to suggest the opposing party’s fault.

It is essential that we are able to choose the correct modifier because it can avoid fraud and abuse. After doing a little research I found that one of the top billing errors is from choosing the incorrect modifier. Because every code does not require a modifier I 'm afraid I will have trouble determining which code needs a modifier and which ones do not.
I think it’s wrong for the government to penalize physicians for not meeting compliance standards. However, It’s a great opportunity for the government to aim at small practices because this is where physicians are self-employed. These types of physicians have numerous clinic or health care facilities and are most likely to commit fraud. This seems kind of biased, but it’s true. According to, Ornstein, the most common sanctions are against physicians who have odd Medicare billing reputations (2014, title).
