Don't improve so that you can qualify for services??? Sounds like fraud

[@patriciaradillo5944]

It’s not fraud at all. Disability conditions of inflammation and pain rise and lower depending on activities.
In order to get the proper nursing care, therapy care, equipment, etc you MUST report the weakest conditions not the stronger hours or day. Those never last.
Another example. My husband is severely disabled bedbound etc. when we transport him to his appointments the road conditions cause him huge pain and inflammation after that will last for a week of him being hardly able to move.
So he is given a muscle relaxant and a pain medication to prevent him from stiffening up and screaming in pain.
When we arrive and Dr asks him his pain level he will answer LESS than is his average amount due to the medication.
The Dr sees a tiny snapshot and if he reports little pain he will not receive the proper care he actually needs.
So I tell patients to look at the last days or a week even and average those days out. One day an 8 and another a 4 then 9 then 5. Well average those out and tell doc a 7. It’s a true and accurate report.
Not fraud. Just more accurate, honest and gives the medical personnel a true picture.

What do you mean "sounds like fraud?
