"In what other industry could a purveyor put out 99% bad bills and stay in business?" - Linda Komisak
“They're diagnosing things for things that you don't even have. And that’s scary.” - Kimberly Carleson
These two topics are key to understanding why the healthcare system is so broken. If you buy any other service, you can (a) expect to only be billed for the services that were performed and (b) have the ability to research the quality of vendors and pick the best one.
Why can’t we do that in healthcare?
This is an incredibly informative episode, and we cover more than just those two topics including nurse staffing shortages, how to identify the best hospital systems, and why it’s so important to gather feedback from nurses.
