Medical records on show to Medicare bureaucrats
 
MEDICARE bureaucrats will get access to patients' private medical records as part of a new crackdown on doctors who overcharge Medicare for their services. 

Doctors will have to hand over patient records to auditors to prove they carried out procedures for which they claimed a Medicare payment.
