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.

How much money does someone need before medicare will pay nursing home costs?
Whether Medicare will pay for nursing home care is not a matter of how much money the patient needs. In general, Medicare does not pay for long term, "custodial" care, which is the reason for most nursing home admissions. Medicare will pay for nursing home care for rehabilitation; in such a case, the medical record must show that the patient is progressing.
