About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Arvind Bob Khurana, Principal Whistleblower Lawyer at the Khurana Law Firm, Discusses Medicare Upcoding and Why it is Illegal

New York, NY -- The Medicare system in the United States loses billions of dollars each year to fraud. This costs taxpayers and recipients alike. Unfortunately, the federal government does not have enough resources to combat this problem by itself and must rely on private individuals and healthcare workers to come forward to report it. Arvind Bob Khurana, principal and founding attorney at the Khurana Law Firm, P.C., is a healthcare whistleblower lawyer in New York City who represents individuals with knowledge of fraudulent Medicare activity to come forward and file a whistleblower lawsuit.

When providers provide a service to a Medicare patient, that provider submits a claim to Medicare in order to be paid. This is usually done through electronic billing systems and uses procedural codes so Medicare knows what services were provided and how much to pay the provider.

One of the ways healthcare providers perpetrate fraud against the Medicare program is by making fraudulent claims to collect more money for their services. One of these methods is the manipulation of medical claim coding called upcoding.

“Upcoding is when a healthcare provider bills Medicare for services under a code that allows them to collect more than the actual service they provided,” explained Mr. Khurana. “The medical community and Medicare rely on electronic records and billing software to keep track of medical records and claims. Unfortunately, providers can manipulate these records to show a different diagnosis and services to get reimbursed at a higher rate. Medicare relies on this information from the provider to be correct and accurate. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. But Medicare doesn’t have enough resources to be able to investigate each claim for accuracy, and consequently, a great deal of fraud takes place.”

The federal False Claims Act, enacted in 1863, makes it unlawful for providers to submit a false or fraudulent claim to Medicare for reimbursement and holds them legally liable. Under the False Claims Act, a private individual or healthcare worker with knowledge of fraudulent activity can file a civil lawsuit against the perpetrator on behalf of the federal government. The act provides incentives for whistleblowers enabling them to collect a portion of the financial recovery as a reward and also protects them from any employer retaliation if they have brought suit against an employer or assisted the government in a recovery. A successful whistleblower lawsuit can hold the party perpetrating the fraud liable for triple the harm they caused to the government as well as significant penalties for each violation.

“Whistleblowers who come forward to report upcoding or other types of fraud are the true heroes combating Medicare fraud today,” continued Mr. Khurana. “As healthcare whistleblower lawyers, it is our job to maintain their safety, anonymity, and enable them to get rewarded for their courage in coming forward. With their help, we are able to relentlessly pursue the Medicare fraud that is so prevalent today and costs our government and taxpayers untold amounts of money.”
