Monty Grow is a jackass. Bilked tricare by pushing through fake prescriptions.

Wow. That's a hell of a scheme. Surprised we hadn't heard about Mathews involvement already. I had some classes w/ Monty Grow, he was a solid player. He's had some trouble since exiting football, including the incident where he left his kid alone in a car while he was inside a strip club.

I could swear we had this thread about prescriptions when the recrutnik girl went ape**** and was found under the bridge. It's real and coming from the docs, the reps, the patients.....not all, not a majority, but enough to matter.

The man is a scammer. As bad as things already are, one thing the health care system does not need is people of his ilk, no matter which school they attended.

@onlygators: Want to amend this tweet. Matthews was reportedly *sentenced* to prison as noted in the story. Used the wrong terminology below.

Its bullshyt, spawned by ambulance chasers and people (politicians) trying to divert attention from the real problem, Mexican drug cartels slinging heroin and fentanyl on every street corner.

If you talk to cops, paramedics, or er personnel, its all heroin causing the ODs. Its dirt cheap, less than crack, only slightly more than marijuana. Pills are pricey.

A big thing right now are fentanyl getting pressed into pills. Many of the pill deaths are those.

Are there pill mills? Yes, but it isnt even close to one of the primary problems. The majority of the pills come from China or Canada, not US doctors or pharmacies.

Nope, he started a bogus website that told soldiers they could get pain medications (compounds) for free by putting their information on their personal information on the website without ever seeing a doc.

They then paid a doc to do telemedicine. Where the doctor never actually saw the patient but he got paid a flat fee for every prescription that he wrote to the pharmacy for “seeing” the patient.

It was something like $300 million within a year. The director of tricare (a general) shut it down.

Oh I know. I read it. This time it was the reps and the patients. Next time it's the docs and reps. Next time it's the docs and patients.

I think there isn't a ton of difference in heroin and the strong prescription pain pills that people are injecting or snorting. I know here in my town its just now becoming where more people are probably doing heroin more than prescription pain pills. The price of the prescriptions on the street have really went up I heard with all the crackdowns on the doctors giving out those pills so easy.

Like Law said people mixing in fentanyl and getting too much in there is killing people now however.

Yeah, I’m surprised, too. I heard quite a bit when Monty was indicted. It was a fairly prominent story in the media but I hadn’t heard boo about Shane being involved until this thread.
