Detecting Potential Overbilling in Medicare Reimbursement via Hours Worked: Comment
Fang and Gong (2017) develop a procedure to detect potential over-billing of Medicare by physicians.

In this comment, I show how auditors can use detailed claims-level data to better target improper overbilling. (JEL H51, I13, I18, J22, J44)
