That is called double billing, and it is Medicare fraud. It is against the law for any medical provider to bill for something with the wrong date of service, and especially to bill the same charge twice when it was only performed once. There is a VERY LARGE penalty for Medicare fraud. A call needs to be made to the local Medicare or Social Security office.

Is an irrevocable trust a safe way to protect funds from being gobbled up by medicare?
I think you mean medicaid. Medicare is the program for which seniors (and some others) are eligible. Medicaid is the program for those of limited means. The iirevocable trust works if the patient is not a beneficiary of the trust and conveyed his / her assets to the trust at least five years ago. If the conveyance was within five years, then the trust assets will be counted as the patient's assets for purposes of qualifying for medicaid.
