OIG Report Claims with Kwashiorkor, June 2015

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) report “The Hospital of Central Connecticut Incorrectly Billed Medicare Inpatient Claims With Kwashiorkor” dated June 2015.

The OIG was looking to determine if the Hospital was complying with Medicare billing requirements for Kwashiorkor. Kwashiorkor is a type of severe protein malnutrition. It generally is found in children living in parts of the world without and adequate food supply or due to a famine. Since Medicare is primarily covering people 65 years or older, it is doubtful this condition would be prominent.

The following link leads to the finds of their investigation.
