yup, somehow insurance companies inundate healthcare with paperwork to get paid. I’ve been looking for providers that give a discount if you don’t make them do insurance billing. My RN wife spends more time on insurance charting than on actual patient care. they are ripe for restructuring@[email protected] I showed this article to my wife who is a therapist and on several insurance boards.
Insurance is terrible, but she pointed out that several of the examples in this article are problematic.
@[email protected] insurance companies having more say over what’s medically necessary than the providers who have been to school for this is the kind of innovation that can only come from the Greatest Nation on Earth™
How did this happen?
@[email protected] Yep. “Taking insurance” (misnomer that it is) quite literally ruined. my. life. And I have not been able to recover yet. I have been on so many rants about this for years now.
