OHSU and other Oregon hospitals overbilled Medicare by millions

Oregon hospitals overbilled Medicare $23 million in 2013, an increase of $8 million over the previous year, a new analysis has revealed. The state's overbilling does not place Oregon high on a list of the worst states with Medicare waste - it only ranks 39th out of the 50 states - but does contribute to mismanagement that drained $46 billion in lost funds from the Medicare Trust Fund in 2014, says the advocacy group Council for Medicare Integrity.
