Doctors Cash In on Drug Tests for Seniors, and Medicare Pays the Bill - WSJ - WSJ


Read the full article: Doctors Cash In on Drug Tests for Seniors, and Medicare Pays the Bill - WSJ - WSJ:

"Doctors are testing seniors for drugs such as heroin, cocaine and “angel dust” at soaring rates, and Medicare is paying the bill.

Now, some pain doctors are making more from testing than from treating."
