dalesutaria asked: I’m a newbie to Medicare and how exactly it works. Are only medical providers like hospitals or medical suppliers reimbursed, or are patients ever directly reimbursed by Medicare if they provide an itemized receipt for medical supplies that are covered?
Can anyone recommend a guide/website/book to learn more about this?

jsho12 asked: My brother is thinking of buying a medical supply business (wheelchairs, medical equipment, etc.) The vast majority of revenue comes through Medicare reimbursement. I’m concerned about the potential that much of their reported revenue is due to fraud. I don’t necessarily have a basis for this but just want to make sure. Anyone know where my brother can go to confirm that this audit happened. I don’t want to trust any documentation provided by the current owners.
Thanks.
