nom – ““Hospitals inflated the numbers to get funding.”
How does this work? Are they getting money for treatment that is not being provided? Are they creating fictitious patients?”
it’s not real complicated.Paperwork at hospital asks, “did the patient test positive for covid?” If yes, reimbursement was dramatically higher. I speak first hand, many many patients with covid did not die from covid but were reimbursed for covid. Some were dying already, some recovered from their covid, some looked they probably had covid, some had covid symptoms, etc.
And if they had been vented, even higher reimbursement.
