HEATHCARE LAW & POLICY

Legal case: The People v. Scofield, No. 16494, 1971 (Cal. Ct. App. May 28, 1971). https://law.justia.com/cases/california/court-of-appeal/3d/17/1018.htmlLinks to an external site. Briefly describe this case. Give close attention to 4th paragraph; "Defendant (Ms. von Berg office worker) came to the office many times … & Dr. DeLong instructed her that defendant's clients were to be billed for treatments three times a week regardless of whether actual treatment had been given." Do you consider this fraudulent billing? Did the doctor give an illegal order to the office worker von Berg? What should the employee have done?
