Is Health Care Billing a Fraud?
My wife’s HMO just sent us a summary statement of medical care bills and payments for all of 2008.
You tell me — doesn’t this amount to grand fraud?
1. total charges [excluding double billing caused by HMO delaying for months] 33,343.80
2. Allowed by contract [also includes 437.37 that hasn't yet been been ruled as allowed or denied] 8312.78
In other words, the amounts “billed” by the hospitals, lab operations, physicians, clinics, radiologists, etc. were FOUR times the amounts they’d actually agreed to accept as full payment from the HMO.
Now, if you didn’t have an insurance company bargaining for you, the hospitals, et al, would be trying to collect FOUR times as much from you as they really expect to get, and really “should” get.
FOUR FREAKING TIMES AS MUCH !!
