An occupational therapy assistant has been adding an extra billed unit of service on the billing sheet for all his or her clients to account for the time he or she has spent documenting. He or she does not tell his or her supervising occupational therapist that he or she is doing it, and the occupational therapist does not check the billing, he or she only checks the contact notes the occupational therapy assistant has written in the health records. Could the occupational therapist charged with conspiracy to commit fraud?
 
  A) Yes, because the occupational therapist probably told the occupational therapy assistant to do it that way
  B) No, because the occupational therapist had no knowledge of the fraud taking place and therefore cannot be responsible for it
  C) No, because it's not fraud to bill for documentation time
  D) Yes, because the occupational therapist is acting with deliberate ignorance by not checking the billing
