Thousands of safes sold to restaurants, payday loan companies, check cashing companies, pawn shops, convienence stores, and a few banks had a secondary access code programmed into their electronic locks that is pathetically easy to figure out. Often these codes are "override" codes that could even bypass the time lock and time delay. The clients were not told about this.
On more than a few occasions these codes were given out to store employees during tech support calls to troubleshoot the locks. The employees were told that they were one time codes and that they wouldn't work after the call was over. Not only were they not "one time codes", they were codes that would unlock any safe at any time in the entire chain of stores belonging to the company the employee worked for.
Some of these chains had hundreds of locations.
There is a "financial institution" that has well over a hundred safes that can be opened with the code 222222. This was due to a miscommunication during the initial ordering process. No one has corrected this. Strangely no one has seemed to figure it out either.

Most of my secrets involve confidential, client-specific information, so I won't be sharing either.
(From my days as a drug rep) - Somewhat related to this - Pharmacies are making a fortune from social services. The pharmacies are allowed to get back the AWP (average wholesale price) from the government when they dispense prescriptions. This price is often years behind and many times more than the actual current cost the pharmacies would pay us for drugs. Eg. - We would sell generic Prozac for probably about $30 per 100. The AWP was still set at about $450 at the time, so that is what (potentially) the pharmacies could get back from the government.Originally posted by: Slew Foot

Some of the things hospitals do to make sure they get the maximum reimbursement from Medicare/Medicaid...
Well it's just crazy...
Medicare probably still doesnt cover the cost of the equiptment, much less anyones salary.
Ex. Medicare reimburses $120 for a labor epidural, the cost of the epidural kit is $220. The rest is made up by taxes (this is a country hospital).

You know how shows like House, Grey's Anatomy, ER, Scrubs etc like to show how things get screwed up in hospitals? How new interns are flaming retards at times?
Yea, that DOES happen. Worst months to be hospitalized are generally July, August and December. Those are when the fresh out of Med School, brand new interns start rounding. Hospital mortality rates at teaching hospitals usually go up a few ticks during those months.
Example...and this is a kinda mild one. Patient of mine needed 6 units of regular insulin as her blood glucose('blood sugar') was 280mg/dL. My hospital has completely electronic medical records, ordering, charting everything. We page the intern on call. He says ok give me a few minutes. He calls back in 10 minutes and tells the nurse, I cant figure out how to put in a medication order so I'm going to verbally tell you to give 6 units of insulin. Then proceeds to tell her it's perfectly fine.
So then the nurse had to explain over the phone how to put an order in for insulin even though they give the interns cheat sheet books. He said he 'accidently' threw that away cuz he figured he knew enough.
That kinda stuff is scary as hell to me.
