[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 244469, member: 1"] There is one issue that keeps coming up that seems like such a no brainer I can't understand why the current system hasn't dealt with this before: [B]The [SIZE=4]billions of dollars [/SIZE]wasted on billing and paperwork every year. [/B] [URL="http://blog.lib.umn.edu/schwitz/healthnews/086854.html"]Johns Hopkins University president William Brody says journalists are not asking presidential candidates the right questions about health care reform. [/URL] “At The Johns Hopkins Hospital, we have to bill more than 700 different payers/insurers, such as HMOs, PPOs, Medicare and Medicaid,” he said. “Each one has its own set of rules regarding what services are covered, the level of reimbursement, and what kind of documentation and pre-approval is required. Nationally, this kind of inefficiency costs patients billions of dollars every year.” I usually believe that the competition of private enterprise brings innovation and efficiency to an industry, what the heck happened here?
