The Medicaid Grift Nobody Wants to Talk About

It starts in Westwood.

A patient walks into UCLA Health for a routine checkup—CPT 99213.
Fifteen minutes.
Maybe less.

The patient thinks she’s seeing a doctor.

What she doesn’t know?
She’s stepping into one of the most profitable transactions in American healthcare.

Very excited to share our recently published research on ERCP in pediatrics! This is an emerging practice, and we hope our 17-year experience will provide guidance for endoscopists and families for whom this procedure is offered.

And finally, please check out our previous research on this topic! We evaluated a national pediatric database to assess how patient characteristics may affect ERCP complication rates. We believe these studies are quite complimentary!
