SPECIAL REPORT
OIG's Hammer
State officials charged with rooting out Medicaid fraud have made a Kaufman pediatrician's life a nightmare and threatened to ruin his practice, even though independent experts say he has done nothing wrong. The case of Charles Turner Lewis, MD, is an extreme example of what can happen when the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's Office of Inspector General decides to go after a physician and wield what it calls the "hammer" it's been given by the legislature.
