It wasn't fraud. Was it incorrect, heck yeah. Should the hospital have gotten it
right? Certainly.

Most hospitals now use Physician Order Entry (POE) so the charges hit as soon as the order is entered. If the patient declines or the service isn't used the charges have to be stripped off on the back end via a chart review.

Charges go on in an automated fashion, they come off manually, it's not perfect, but is not fraud.
