Fraudulent Billing by Planned Parenthood

On Friday, the New Jersey Right to Life released three separate audits conducted by the U.S. Inspector General for the Department of Health and Human Services, which show that state Planned Parenthood providers have been over-billing the federal government. The audits, conducted between 2001 and 2005, found that nearly $3 million should have been refunded to the government. Clinics improperly billed everything from prescription medications to outpatient services. [CitizenLink.com, 8-19-2010]

Comment:

I find it so interesting that when Planned Parenthood “serves” women that they charge them, their insurance, or the government for their services. MWC and hundreds of pregnancy care centers around the country serve women and their families for FREE. There is no “profit motive” at pregnancy care centers. We are motivated by a love for those we serve, a sense of urgency to protect the lives of the unborn, and a passion to see individuals come to know the Lord in a personal way. Check out www.frc.org to see the first ever report that attempts to assess the good work that is being done by hundreds of pregnancy resource centers in the US and around the world.

This report can also be useful in correcting the attacks on PRCs by organizations like NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League), as they attempt to create negative impressions about pregnancy resource centers. See http://www.fwhc.org/abortion/fake.htm.

I am sure that not every Center is perfect but serving women and men in crisis with integrity and love is at the heart of Metro Women’s Center and other centers like ours.
