UH just denied 2 nights of my 3 night hospital stay for Influenza A.

By    06:32 // No comments

My asthma was made worse by Influenza A.

UH said that based on what they interpret that I was ok to go home the following day to heal up.

Both doctors kept me two additional nights as I could not get above 90% oxygen without assistance and my lungs were pretty compromised with fluid.

Am sure I can appeal this, but for now am facing $34,000 bill. (My ER and first night was $44k and paid).

They are also fighting my scrips for diabetes that has been in appeal for 2 months.

Starting to get the feeling that to them, I’m better off dead

Medicaid

By    01:31 // No comments

So just a few days ago, I’ve heard about this thing called five-year look back when it comes to Medicaid long-term care? So I’m familiar with Medicaid, but this information is something I’ve never heard of before though. What does it mean? Like is it for just in general or is it like only when you’re retired or something? because I qualify for Medicaid so I just want to know what this means so I I can make sure I’m using Medicaid correctly.

Compounding Healthcare Cost of USA

By    03:31 // No comments

I was just thinking about this...

The healthcare industry in US runs like businesses. As healthcare organizations get more busy with more businesses, health insurance companies would need to keep up by raising the insurance premiums.

Given US Employers need to pay for 85% of the premiums of their employees. Wouldn't the raise of healthcare premium increase the hiring cost (expense) of the companies? And how are companies going to keep up? By raising their prices?

Some of the companies will be healthcare organizations. What if they raise the prices too? Will health insurance companies raise their premiums again? So the cycle keep compounding on its own?

Then the sick, the poor, the powerless, will have no prices to raise... fall into the destiny of having medical debt, feeding the numbers to the powerful.

Universal Healthcare question.

By    02:32 // No comments

I have some questions about universal healthcare. I live in the US and I currently have fantastic insurance through my job so I’m unfamiliar with the cons of universal healthcare. I understand that the healthcare is free (which is awesome), but what is the quality of that healthcare? Also, I’ve heard that if you need treatment for something or are in need of some sort of medical device, you could be waiting a long time. Is any of this true? What insights/stories could you provide?

Healthcare labor shortage?

By    01:31 // No comments

Question for this group. I've been reading all about the healthcare systems shortage for workers. Many healthcare systems and hospitals are seeing the largest shortage in the workforce in decades.

I'm curious to get this groups opinion on that. Is this because pay is too low? Good jobs require relocation? or something else?

As a recruiter, not in the healthcare space, I'm just curious to learn more about what the actual issue at play is here.

Several healthcare companies have removed their website pages about their leadership...

By    00:32 // No comments

Seems their scared for other CEO's safety right now. Specifically,

- Erhardt Preitauer (CareSource)

- Kim Keck (BlueCross)

- Lisa Erickson (Medica)

- J David Joyner (CVS)

- Joseph Zubretsky (Molina)

- Andrew Witty (UHG)

- David Cordani (Cigna)

- Mark Bertolini (Oscar)

- Jim Rechtin (Humana)

Just throwing those out there in case anyones interested 😉. Praying some folks makes this list shorter over the next few years so maybe they realize the consequences of "legally" murdering people.
