Two entrepreneurs in South Florida went way too far in billing Medicare for penis pumps to help impotent men, according tocharges by the U.S. attorney in Miami.
The men run companies called Charlie Rx and Happy Trips that submitted $63,000 in bills for, er, male vacuum erection systems that resulted in more than $28,000 in payments by Medicare, the Miami Herald reports.
Citing indictments returned earlier this year, the government says the two companies fraudulently billed Medicare for nearly $1.9 million for all sorts of medical equipment and medicines. They received about $735,000 in federal payments.
Glad it was STOPPED- It was reported that the fraud started under the Bill Clinton era..Go Figure
