Based on this logic, hospitals have zero control over how much funding they get back from COVID deaths, so you just debunked your own argument.


Coded Covid = 20% increase in payment from Medciare
Not coded Covid = no bump in payment.

Seems like there's some control there, and in fact a monetary incentive.

Most states are not opening back up. Some states are. And those states are getting hammered for doing so.

frick the scaremongers that are hammering the states for opening up.

Arkansas was hammered by the media for not issuing a stay-at-home order.... we have had a TOTAL of 76 deaths, 25 per million

Mississippi issued a stay-at-home order... and has had 303 deaths, 101 per million, 4X Arkansas.

You forgot one important thing, which has been mentioned to you over and over in his thread.

Not coding COVID patients as COVID = Lessens COVID cases, which would have allowed the hospitals to open up sooner, which would be wayyyyyy better to their bottomline than a 20% increase in payments from each COVID death.

So you have yet to answer why commit fraud to do one thing when you can commit fraud to do something else that would be much better for the business.

Most states are, your statement is not correct

They're also being praised for doing so.
