A blog about fraud, corruption and incompetence
Welcome to my blog! My name is Matt Rhodes. I recently surrendered my nursing license and made the transition from Nursing to become a licensed Private Investigator by the Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners (LSBPIE). As a Nurse Practitioner for the past decade, I specialized in Personal Injury and Workers’ Compensation cases, serving as Medical Director of a large injury clinic and Director of a work injury clinic. As a nurse entrepreneur and small business owner, I gained expertise in medical billing and coding, the regulatory environment and facilities licensing. Combined with my clinical experience, I ended up with an impressive list of credentials with so many letters that they won’t fit on a single business card (See “Nursing Credentials” below).
With this diverse experience, I believe I have developed a unique skill set and knowledge base that qualifies me to investigate healthcare fraud and abuse. That is now what I do full-time. What I am doing part-time is writing for InjuryConspiracy.com about the fraud, corruption and incompetence that has become the norm in Arizona. I encourage you to check it out, you will be shocked and should be angry when you learn how things really work.
