Fact check: Hospitals get paid more if patients listed as COVID-19, on ventilators

Hospitals are paid more for Medicare patients with COVID-19, but a senator who first said that says he doesn't think the system is being gamed.

www.usatoday.com

Of course they get more from Medicare , they are on Medicare assignment. Billings are based on procedures, procedures are identified by medical codes.
Now if the hospital's attending physician determines that the patient is displaying symptoms that are consistent with COVID including laying there suffocating he or she immediately goes into COVID protocols.

Now if you noticed this so called "interview" took place almost 6 months ago. I wonder what he has to say now? Secondly I wonder if the good senator got vaccinated?

More importantly if he too found himself laying out in the hallway on an army cot fighting for every breath with every ounce of strength he has left in his body.... would he too be begging for a ventilator or worried about how much more that hospital is going to get paid by hooking him up to one even if one was available ?

Or what if the attending physician and staff were to write him off as being too far gone deciding to focus their attention instead on those they think they can save and just let him lay there and choke to death on his own vomit? Would he accept that outcome?

You didn't pay attention to the article. It is not only for Medicare. 34000 for a ventilator..

$25,000 for a short distance Medivac ride. My brother had an abdominal hematoma that had to be fused. It's something fairly common and is done on an almost daily basis at larger hospitals..... The cost?..... $900,000.

Who's fault is it but your own for suddenly being shocked and awed by the cost of healthcare? It has been at the forefront of the national debate for at least 30 years.

How about the whole quote?

Jensen clarified in the video that he doesn't think physicians are "gaming the system" so much as other "players," such as hospital administrators, who he said may pressure physicians to cite all diagnoses, including "probable" COVID-19, on discharge papers or death certificates to get the higher Medicare allocation allowed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

Instead of what the reporter thought.

Our ruling: True​

We rate the claim that hospitals get paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 and on ventilators as TRUE.

Well then we should see a mass exodus of military..unless they are full of it

Pathetic strawman.

He can pull out all the publicly available data he wants and if he wants to analyze it but strictly as a nonprofessional and therefore it means absolutely nothing.

The good part is to this point he has not gone on record as saying that he is prepared to accept the dangers and the consequences alone asking nothing of anyone including the healthcare community.

So what does this mean? It means that he has serious doubts about his own decisions regarding the matter.

He sounds like scores of others. Won't get the vaccine. Places their trust in their religion. Wait for the faith healer to come in say a prayer, a laying on of hands, speak in tongues , give word of testimony, ask for a donation... Then the faith healer goes out to the kitchen calls an ambulance to come get the guy.... and then goes running out the door like a bat out of hell to do what?.... To go get himself vaccinated after seeing what that * can do to a person.

What a silly rant devoid of facts.
We know much more now about how to treat the Chinese Virus and we also have therapeutics.

You need to stop pushing this conspiracy theory that doctors can't help infected people.

Speak for yourself. I’d try to downplay college too if I went 13 years without being able to find a job in my field. But sure. You’d rather drive a truck than work for a big bank. Sure. Keep telling yourself that. Make sure you fill up on Gatorade. It’s going to be a hot one today.

BTW, it's great to see you spending so much time here on a truck driver website.

My history teacher made me register as a Republican during Bush era.

You're not only a bad liar, but you also tell stupid lies.

Your definition is a perfect account of Trump’s rise to power.

Believing such would explain why you voted for him - you hoped you were voting for a fascist.

 

[59 Dano]

99.7% of people recover from COVID - but you never hear a single feel good recovery story from the media.

Yes you do, if the patient has a "IT SUCKED SO GET YOUR SHOT" message. But only if it includes the proper sermon.

Yes if a person would die and needed the ventilator to save them..then costs go up. In other news if your head hurts take a aspirin. If you head still hurts and you need brain surgery. Then your costs go up

Biden said there a mass exodus of servicemembers? You feeling okay buddy? Think your tendency to believe conspiracy theories is flaring up again.

He's like you. Puts out all kinds of public data but can't offer a qualified assessment of what the data represents outside of a pointless purely nonprofessional one.

Doctors can help infected people provided that the patients symptoms are within the limits of treatment effectiveness. Remember at the beginning there was little to nothing in the way of approved and effective treatments leaving doctors to decide who they could and could not save. It all was pretty much dependent on what kind of shape the patient was in when they got to the hospital.

He's like you.

I responded to your post, and your response is "he's like you". Are you feeling okay?

You have a bad habit of deflection, obfuscation, and struggling to follow simple conversations.

Unlike you at least I don't say the same things over and over again. .
