Health Care Facilities get $37,000 per covid death...

We know.

What heroes they all are though

Scamming the taxpayer.

HEROES.

Yeah this virus is an election gambit. All a big scam.

What else is new.

I thought this has been known for some time now. If anyone dies that happens to have Covid, that’s what they put as the cause of death. Profit

Yes. My father was in the hospital last month for a cardiac condition and they wanted it to be COVID so bad they couldn’t stand it. They tested him four or five times. Each time negative yet they kept him in the COVID ward the entire time and wouldn’t allow family to visit. Infuriating.

They for sure have a great incentive to make sure the uninsured meet the requirements to get reimbursed.

If you want to really get into the weeds, try looking up via cdc what defines a probable death from Covid which is later determined based on what Is listed as reason of death even if Covid isn’t.

You come in with a cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or pneumonia and die with “no alternative more likely diagnosis” ..you had Covid.

Come in with sore throat and headache die and had close contact to somebody with Covid or somebody with a cough that came close to somebody with Covid 14 days prior..you had Covid.

Healthcare systems always follow the incentives. If hospitals got paid an extra $37,000 if a COVID patient was released on the 5th day then 99% of COVID patients would be released on Day 5.

The controversy surrounding reporting who died of covid notwithstanding, that’s really not that much money. ICU room alone is 1-2k per night before meds, providers, etc. Ballpark 6-8k/d if they’re not using the most expensive newer experimental meds. Ventilator: 1-2k/d. Covid pts don’t just show up and due within hours of arrival, they’re usually there 6-14 days.

If we’re conservative: 6-8k/d x 10d is roughly double the payout of 37k. Factor in the population, uninsured, etc and the hospital is Losing out on more than it’s gaining

I'd have to search for the article about the New Orleans convention center hospital expenses. If I remember correctly the government paid $876k per patient (not per death, per patient). They were paying nurses $245 per hour and they were guaranteed a 7 day/ 84 hour work week, with over half of that at time and 1/2.

Lol no, collect it as much as you can and I can’t imagine any system turning that down, but in the end it’s not necessarily some net gain, just less of a loss.

Still doesn’t make labeling anyone a covid death because of a positive test if they died from a heart attack
