Just heard an anecdote that a healthcare system in a small town in Tennessee processed 9,000 tests last week with a 43% positivity rate.
Isnāt the entire state of South Dakota at about that rate?
EDIT: Yeah, I wasnāt imagining things. 41% over the last week on PCR tests.
wow could you be more obtuse
I donāt care if you personally are swiping cards
we all know why they are offering you more money to work more, this isnāt about anyones motivations
are the patients being charged 1.5x your normal fee or not? itās a simple question.
No
ok so where does the extra money you earn on these shifts come from?
lol
The physician group that I work for.
And to end this now, the hospital isnāt paying more to the group because of this shortage
40% positive = 100% Red White And Blue Freedom!
I would advise against ordering from BFM for now. I placed an order with them on the 4th and it has been āawaiting fulfilmentā since then, they have not responding to messages Iāve sent through the website, or to emails, nobody is answering the phone. I filed a paypal complaint so it looks like I might get my money back inā¦ May
where is the money coming from? Is your physicians group printing it?
Yes. Pretty sure if you shot a 90 year old in hospice care youād still get charged with murder and it would get counted as a gun death.
Iām assuming the positive takes on this guy are sarcasm.
Nearly all of our income comes from billing patients and agreements with insurance companies, not from the hospital, although I donāt know the percentage off hand. Itās very low typically unless you work in an area with a poor payer mix.
So basically, the money is coming out of our groups bottom line. Spew at someone else
Iām not spewing, Iām asking a sincere question. In the other thread you implied that in the case of the nurse practicioner, the $38 that the patient was billed went directly to the nurse. what youāre saying here implies that no, it doesnāt go to the nurse, it goes to whoever she works for and then they pay her.
you give out vague and incomplete info and then you also get mad at people who donāt read your mind and know exactly how the system works.
Wow that sucks, sorry. Seems like I got really lucky, I used them for over a year with no problems and then noticed more comfortable N95s available locally cheaper, and stopped using BonaFide.
Iām sorry Iām unable to explain the entirety of ER billing to you in a few paragraphs. Thereās wild variations in how that part of the payment goes down. You can badger someone else for every little detail.
In my example I work for a group that most of us are part owners in. The money for that 1.5x is coming from our company.
If the pandemic gathers speed, we can all rely on our governments to respond with rational, science led approaches
Nailed it (yes I know he was being sarcastic)
Because patients were overcharged before?
I mean, if your company continued paying 1.5x would it eventually go broke without hiking patient charges?
