It may or may not be deliberate fraud, but I've seen this sort of thing happen too many times because the system encourages it. Every different doctor has a very particular specialty and some little thing to sign off on.

Around here, get a new doctor or go to a new hospital and they start over (and bill for everything) because your old records aren't available, or they don't trust the people who took care of you in the past.
