If you have first-hand knowledge of this, and can provide copies of the documents, you should file a complaint with CMS and OIG. Additionally, anyone aware of this practice in a state having licensure should report individual incidents to the license board. Most board do not have authority to go "fishing" for wrong-doers. They can, at best, respond to filed complaints.
