All of the tests came with expired dates, but with a notice that the FDA had conveniently extended the shelf-life of the expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, I suspected fraud based on a previous experience (more below) and reported to an uninterested Medicare fraud division the mysterious receipt of covid tests.&nbsp;&nbsp;However the second batch of tests came with a note that said \u201ctests are totally free, paid for by the Government,\u201d and \u201cplease do not return.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Free to me but not to Medicare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is Medicare paying for expired &nbsp;covid tests to be sent to those on Medicare?&nbsp;&nbsp;Is the Biden regime using scarce Medicare funds to buy up Big Pharma\u2019s surplus covid supplies?&nbsp;&nbsp;What else could it be?&nbsp;&nbsp;Am I going to catch Covid 16 times?&nbsp;&nbsp;How many tests will arrive on my next Medicare summary statement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My suspicion of fraud or perhaps just a mistake of some sort was aroused by an earlier Medicare summary notice that reported that my Medicare account had been charged $1,994 for a billing from Alexandria DME, in Alexandria KY, Ordered by Edgar Bustamante\u00a0\u00a0for 8 monthly shipments to me beginning July 14, 2022 and ending February 13, 2023 for \u201c1 supply allowance for non-adjunctive, non-implanted continuous glucose monitor (cgm) includes all su (A4239-KFKXCG).\u00a01 non-adjunctive, non-implanted continues glucose monitor or receiver (E2103-KFNUKXCG).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">None of my doctors ordered this for me.&nbsp;&nbsp;I never received these items. My glucose has never been monitored.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don\u2019t know who Edgar Bustamante is.&nbsp;&nbsp;I reported this as possible fraud.&nbsp;&nbsp;It took about two hours to convince Medicare that I wasn\u2019t forgetful or senile.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have never heard from Medicare any explanation for why $1994 was charged to my Medicare account, leaving me with an amount \u201cyou may be billed,\u201d which means my Medicare supplement, AARP, of $508.64.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Someone needs to investigate why Medicare is paying for expired covid products to be sent to those on Medicare.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this a Biden regime payoff to Big Pharma?&nbsp;&nbsp;But who is to investigate?&nbsp;&nbsp;CNN? NPR? The New York Times?&nbsp;&nbsp;It will never happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Republican House?&nbsp;&nbsp;They are already buried in myriad investigations of the most utterly corrupt administration in American history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wherever you look in America, you see nothing but corruption.\u00a0\u00a0Our totally corrupt country will not last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/americafirstreport.com\/has-the-criminal-biden-regime-utterly-and-totally-corrupted-medicare\/\">https:\/\/americafirstreport.com\/has-the-criminal-biden-regime-utterly-and-totally-corrupted-medicare\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are constantly told we cannot afford Social Security and Medicare.&nbsp;&nbsp;Fighting Russia in Ukraine is more important than the survivability of the American population.
