As usual the acting was outstanding as usual. Love the cast.
The only issue with the story line is in Illinois, there is a strict law against self referral (Stark law). A provider ( doctor) can't refer patients to a facility that the doctor owns. The provider doesn't make money unless dialysis claims are filed to Medicare. Misdiagnosed patients often die.
The Federal government goes after Providers filing fraudulent claims. Not only does money need to be repaid, but the facility can be shut down . The doctor would likely lose his medical license. The FBI would also want to be involved.
At least physically shutting down the facility immediately for code violations is great tv. Granted, insurance fraud is not as exciting as fire fighters rushing in to save the day.
