Where do I go to report a Dr. specifically a psychiatrist and is this reportable?

Question

I am a social worker and a large number of the clients in my agency see this one psychiatrist and I think he is doing some kind of fraud. There are way to many people that he see and I think he over medicates. He will write a prescription for anything. Some people have diagnosis of bipolar and depression. Depression is a component of Bipolar and is not treated separately. I think he is just over billing Medicaid, insurance etc. How do I report him and can I do it anomalously

Answer 1

You would have to take this up with the State Board Of Medical Physicans. They can investigate. If I were you I would remain annomous. You just might need this persons help someday. This is also a serious aucation against a professional. Make sure you have proff. With out it you have not a leg to stand on.

Answer 2

Call the local police department and ask how do they conduct medical fraud investigations. Or you can write a letter to the attorney general anonmously.

Answer 3

The Medicaid folks would LOVE to hear of this. Also, significant rewards are offered for whistle blowers. I would report him, too.
