Re: Health care claims denied, the spin is on
>"Americans with insurance are denied medically necessary care by a for-profit insurer. A treatment, test, medication ordered by their physician is denied, all in the name of increasing the bottom line."
Uh....WHOSE BOTTOM LINE?
I know doctors who depend on Medicare and Medicaid for their practises. If a test or procedure is covered, they'll order a whole row of them, just to get paid. Just so they can bill for it. Even if the patient doesn't need it. I worked for a doctor like that. He was on the "insurance gravy train". Unfortunately the office manager told him I was hip to this, and I was the first to get laid off.
It's an age-old trick. I can smell doctors like this a mile off. They MAKE me sick!😞
