I suggest you learn the definition of the word, "guidance," before you post again.
The government pays the hospital if Covid is the cause of death.
Administrators want the money.
And will not follow "guidance."
In the US, yes, for Medicare patients, the government pays the hospital for Covid services rendered. I'm not finding where the Gov't is paying something or anything extra for non-Medicare Covid patients. Please cite a source.
A source for what?
You are now claiming that hospitals are not getting any monies related to Covid deaths unless the patients were on Medicare?
That is up to you, the claimant, to provide the source.
You claimed they were first so... its you who must prove that claim. And I'd like to know: Are US hospitals getting $$$ for every dead covid person? Someone prove this to me one way or another.
It's a fact. Not a claim.
And hospitals were receiving more money than usual from the government, thanks to the CARES Act, for just listing a case as Covid treatment.
Nearly everyone that was hospitalized with this disease met the age or eligibility requirements for Medicare to begin with.
The majority of those dead were over the age of 65.
$13k for a case, $39k if a ventilator was used, more than double what the government was paying prior to covid.
I am no longer going to waste any time with you Dave.
You are neither a lord nor even equal to a commoner with the lousy trolling and denial.
You push total disinformation and will eventually answer for all of it.
You seem to be all for lining the pockets of corporate medicine in any way possible. A true reformer, in every sense of the term.
Absolutely disgusting.
As with all things, Lackey is only half right. So, I looked for evidence. And surprise! I know why he didn't wanna post links.
https://www.hhs.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-provider-relief-fund/for-providers/index.htmlYes, you get money. But there are a ton of strings attached AND you need to prove you need the money. And it can only be used for Covid related things or reimbursements. You also must have accepted patients/payments from various government health care. So any hospital that refuses Medicare patients would not get funds.
Its also not based on "per covid patient" but closer to a "reimbursement" system. So you gotta spend the money first, then the governemnt will give you money to help cover the unexpected costs. Provided you agree to the terms and conditions. (Read em.)
Also the deadline was November 6, 2020. FYI.
