EXCLUSIVE: Even More Fraud Waste And Abuse On Greenwich Hospital CEO Frank Corvino's Watch

Unemployed, Disabled and Senior Citizens In Greenwich Often Complain That They Can't Get A Slot In The Greenwich Hospital Outpatient Clinic, But Million Dollar House Maria With Multiple Social Security Cards And Birth Dates Gets Unlimited Healthcare At Greenwich Hospital At Little Or No Cost. Meet Another One Of The Member's Of Outpatient Front Desk Supervisor Beatrice Rodriguez's Friends And Family Club Members. Outpatient front desk supervisor Beatrice Rodriguez wanted to get Maria an appointment for Maria with a Greenwich Hospital specialist, but the outpatient clinic worker could not find the right record from the referring physician, because Maria had so many social security numbers and birth dates. They even called Maria's employer who gave them a totally different social security number. The clinic staff member kept complaining to Beatrice, that Maria had no record of the need to go to see the Greenwich Hospital specialist and she could only find two old social security numbers that she used at an outpatient clinic financial evaluation and in the Greenwich Hospital emergency room. The outpatient clinic employee was complained to Beatrice,"If I make the specialist appointment, then the doctor will have no medical record to review. But Beatrice Rodriguez, was having none of this. The front desk person even asked Beatrice, "Do you know of another date of birth that she is under." Apparently, she was currently giving a date of birth as 11/25/56, but another medical record had a date of birth of 10/26/56. Yet neither one of the records had the Greenwich Hospital physician's referral to the specialist. Beatrice wanted the front desk person to combine all of Maria's records and just pick one social security number and date of birth to use, but the front desk clerk did not know how to do this in Greenwich Hospital's new $64,000,000.00 computer system. Beatrice Rodriguez then made arrangements to show the front desk worker how to combine all of Maria's birth dates, medical records and social security numbers at Greenwich Hospital.
