Case Analysis: Rite Way LLC

Decent Essays
The article I chose to share with you today is called “Company billed $16m for unnecessary van rides, auditor says” written by Felice Freyer from the BOSTON Globe. The article speaks about an audit investigation of a Westminister company, Rite Way LLC, taking place by the State Auditor, Suzanne M. Bump. Rite Way LLC, a company that provides wheelchair services, was accused of charging MassHealth, a health insurance company that provides services for low income residents of Massachusetts, 16million dollars for unused wheelchairs. This unethical practice came to light when MassHealth filed a complaint with the Attorney General's Office against the wheelchair company, that caused an investigation to be underway.

I found this article significant

    Furthermore, the opposition may say that middle class consumers will stop shopping at Costco because Costco charges people to shop at its store and that method decreases the amount of people that are willing to shop, but that is also false because requiring a membership increases brand loyalty. Moreover, the people that Costco loses because of the requirement for memberships weren 't part of Costco’s target market anyways. For example, if a customer cannot afford Costco’s membership then that customer is not considered to be part of Costco 's target market and is not considered to be a lost customer for Costco. Thus, the opposition is mistaken and the unorthodox business practices that Costco practices, actually, get middle class consumers…
