The employees who work in the hospitals try to get patients to do the procedures over again when the procedures are still within the timeline and are good results. Patients have to retrieve their own doctor ordered results from the tests to present to the hospitals. Because other wise there communication between the ordering physician and the hospitals is lacking. So ultimately what happens is the hospital employee tries to submit duplicate claims to the insurance companies for payment. In other words payment for the same procedure twice. This is happening in the civilian sector not just with the community care under the VA. I can only write from what I have witnessed. Many other situations that the physician does not bother to get the information in the report correct that is ultimately being submitted to the insurance companies. The insurance companies have compartmentalized the healthcare procedures that it enables them to charge more money because the insurance companies have broken up the treatments so they can charge more for the individual treatments. These insurance companies are a mess. One hand does not know what the other hand is doing. Even the communication between the facilities and the patients involves gaps. Physicians and nurses in the facilities are hard to connect with and navigate. The healthcare facilities now basically own the physicians and this was the worst maneuver the healthcare industry could have ever done. The healthcare system has turned into a corporation and the physicians are now owned by the hospitals. Many physicians lost their private practices because of these expensive insurance companies.
These people are stealing money...
They should tie their salary's, pension and jobs to the success of correcting all of these errors caused under their leadership

The system with the way that it is set up is very difficult for many of the employees.
