Gregory's Server@Schouten_B Onus is on you to draw the line between corrupt politicians and a doctor defrauding insurance companies by overbilling. You blame one thing with not a single feeling that you should make that make sense at all. They don't have corrupt politicians in other countries? They don't have single payer? Are you for real?

 @fistfulofdave oh relax, no one named you - yes I know how billing works, I've worked on both sides of the entire scam (including your sacred doctors) and know a lot of people who do fraud investigations too... there are a billion issues, I cited just one. I just wanted to know how a corrupt politician was to blame for bad doctors (who act defensive on social media).  @fistfulofdave @jenzi I don't think doctors are the big ones here. There's a lot of care providers involved in processes where there is a lot more fraud if you look at the data (more in long-term care and nursing as well aiui). But yeah, almost everywhere in the western world doctors are complaining about the complexity of billing procedures. I know Dutch doctors feel that way at least :-). |
@jenzi @Schouten_B do you know how billing works? Married to a doctor and figuring out how to get a patient covered by their insurance though the arcane billing codes is far more the norm than defrauding. Sure there are corrupt docs but I’d say mandated billing procedures by hospitals is more where you want to look.
