darsben, did you know about medicare before your wife had the treatment? I wonder why they wouldn't cover out patient procedures as it would be cheaper for them?
The way I understood it, when entering the "doctors office" was like entering an expensive resort. They catered to the rich who didn't care about insurance coverage. They showed luxury "waiting rooms" and free lunch, catering to the wealthy. Insurance wouldn't cover these frills so they didn't even try to get coverage. Medicare paid for the operation, the extra $18,900 was for frills. Total bill for an hour operation, $54,000 . They do four a day.. Pretty good day's work. As per credition, some claims aren't as per reliable.
As I ask, it's hard to find a competent medical profession
In my opinion. Am still learning which "doctors" are safe and which are otherwise..
