What Is An "Unnecessary Procedure"?

"In Indiana, if a medical professional performs a procedure that is deemed medically unnecessary it can be considered medical malpractice. Often the reasons for such procedures is healthcare fraud for billing purposes, or due to a misdiagnosis that resulted in the medical procedure," stated Mr. Reese. He continued: "Such procedures may result in the patient having other related issues or complications that could have been avoided without the initial unnecessary medical procedure."

Mr. Reese encourages anyone who believes they had a medical procedure that may not have been necessary to contact his helpline.
