Here's another one where a PP in Abilene Texas was found guilty of falsifying records, and not meeting the standard of the testing that they were billing Medicare/medicaid for. In fact the judgement states that although it was an employee who committed the crime, the clinic, and specifically the director, were remiss because they did not provide training or oversight for the procedures and tests that they were charging the government for.

The crime...taking federal money allegedly to provide RH testing...but then just calling another lab and getting THEIR results and using those, instead of actually doing the testing. The clinic was not set up to do the testing, didn't have the proper equipment, and didn't train their workers to do the testing. This was standard operating procedure. Charge for rh testing, call another clinic that has previously tested them, then write down those results as if they were the results of the PP clinic.
Cuz that money wasn't going to testing at all. The *testing* is just lip service. They take the money from the government and claim they are performing services they aren't, then they ALSO take money from the patients, claiming that the feds won't pay for abortions. Score!
If this was corrected and the clinic appropriately punished, then the system works.
