Medicare paid $445 million for mass spectrometry urine drug toxicology testing in 2012, which is a 1,423% increase from five years before.
And it looks like Robert Buckhannon may be attempting to get into the game...or is he?
Battle Creek's "crooked chiropractor", the federally-indicted Buckhannon, claimed in a recent court filing that as Executive Vice President of New Business Development for Nevada-based Clinical Testing Corp LLC, he's required to "travel to manage" the company's education and sales training for a "national network of Account Executives".
On July 13, a Nevada U. S. District Court judge signed an order modifying Buckhannon's pretrial release, and allowing him to travel to "jurisdictions outside of Clark County, Nevada", including the continental U. S. and Hawaii.
Clinical Testing Corp LLC claims to pride itself on acquiring "the latest technology and collaborating with the sharpest minds in the field of clinical toxicology", saying in marketing materials that "urine drug testing and confirmation testing is extremely important in the field of clinical toxicology for any doctor prescribing medication to a patient".
So is Buckhannon really in search of Medicare-fueled "liquid gold", or is his job just a cynical false front, carefully crafted to provide him with a cover story that allows him to travel the lower 48 states and Hawaii in search of more victims?
Miss Fortune takes a close look...and you'll be stunned to know what she found.
