It seems as though all payers are trying to discover creative ways to avoid reimbursing health care providers. And, the threat of disrupting access to care is very real. For example, many people are now calling EMS to determine if they’re sick enough to go to the emergency department, lest they be exposed to their outrageously high Obamacare deductibles. One universal law of emergency medical care is that “eventually, all chest pain subsides.”
As opposed to those Medicaid oversee who call an ambulance to transport themselves and their brood to the ER to get treated for the sniffles. Yes it happens. Daily. And if you pay taxes you are paying for it.
