A Clinic Secure ~
One of the largest sources
of illegal opioid use is from diversion; the intentional diverting of prescription
drugs by those to whom it is prescribed. In many states, the first response to
this problem is to close the clinic from which these prescriptions were written.
While there are cases of doctors over-prescribing or engaging in illicit distribution, my research shows that these are rare occurrences, especially compared to the amount of willful diversion by prescription recipients, and the acquisition of these prescriptions through illegal activity, including doctor shopping and fraudulent medical reports.

We
have, in fact, seen a marked increase in the sale of forged MRI and/or X-Ray
reports, and prescription printouts, designed to acquire narcotics via fraud. There is even a black market for these forged
documents, alone. This too, is becoming a cottage industry.
At A Clinic Secure, we provide constant, meticulous protection from these activities. While no one can promise to put an end to these practices completely, our initial success rate at uncovering these activities is in the high 90% range. Under our watchful eye, nobody gets away with it for long. We are simply too thorough.
Further, we can and do provide an ongoing record of checks and balances, proving that the clinic, and the doctors who work there, have made every possible effort to stem this diversion, and are willing to pass these irregularities on to the necessary authorities when it is discovered.
At one clinic alone, we averaged as many as four patients per week who were positive for doctor shopping or violation of their pain contract, just by thoroughly reviewing the PMP of every patient returning for a follow-up appointment.
Clearing patients before admitting has revealed ongoing criminal enterprises that include mass doctor shopping, forgery rings selling fake MRI and X-Ray reports, and those who “straw dog” the elderly, taking them to clinics with fraudulent information, and collecting their prescription drugs once the prescriptions have been filled.
Sadly, once discovered, many of these groups have left a trail of bodies, usually among high school and college aged kids, who died of opioid overdose from illegally available pain medication. This can and must be changed.
At A Clinic Secure, we provide a variety of programs to combat this epidemic, and at the same time, protect medical personnel from the back lash of illegal activity that usually goes on outside their sphere of influence, and far beyond their control.
