Model behavior
I can't say I understand the insurance charges going on here, but the recruitment of tissue donors seems like as good a use of models as any.

Charging $4300 for what was claimed to be a $100 test would appear to be a legitimate basis for the AG's office to start asking questions.
To this cynic, though, the bandwidth spent on the models just seems to be a red herring used by the article's author to gussy up the article and pad the word count.

Sounds like another example of the law of unintended consequences.
Perhaps the law is so vaguely written that this is legal?

Of course it's blatant fraud...but a good idea if the screening were gratis and actual donors with good matches were recruited.
There are FAR worse ways to spend money...as we have seen this week in Congress.
