Have we discussed the healthcare fraud in LA yet?

If tweet fails to load, click here. One doctor billed Medicare $120 million in a single year!
Ok I have changed my opinion on single payer healthcare now. Medicare-4-All will make me richer! Just kidding I can't stand fraud or government involvement.

Flu/strep/covid test i had a few months ago was $750. My insurance picked up almost all of it, but $750 is highly inflated and there really does need to be an audit of the medical industry.

Shite that would be harder than auditing the Pentagon. It needs to be done but I do not see how it could be done.

But if you just paid a fair market value of about $20 then the insurance companies wouldn’t be able to make billions

That's comical. All for 3 cotton swabs that they run through a machine to test it, and it spits out the results in 15 minutes.

Who charged $750 for a flu and covid test? What insurance company paid that? I need to bump my prices up if insurance is paying that much for a $20 OTC test.

The prices are often set as a peg for Medicaid reimbursements. The "book" price is high because Medicaid will only pay a certain percentage of the book price.
Prices also have to be high to cover all of the people that don't pay any of their bill.
I was charged nearly the same for 5ml of IV acetaminophen. That's Tylenol, and an entire liter of it was $45 on Amazon. I offered to pay them $45, and told them just to turn me over to the bad debt department, because I wasn't paying $700 for Tylenol, when I could have given it to my kid in the waiting room before surgery for under a buck.

Yet we keep voting in demorats and a majority of complicit “republicans “.
My prediction: this will never get fixed and no one of importance will ever be held to account.
Why bother?
