Why there are so many diagnoses in the chart
The codes and arbitrariness of the system are designed not to deliver better care but to ensure higher profits for insurance companies. Delay and denial are a feature, as they say, not a bug.
Here was my take a few months back....I am not a bot. I get a lot of bot comments..https://open.substack.com/pub/danjschmidt/p/coding-mastodons-doctor-story?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
I don’t see any way out of basing revenue on a risk model, and any risk model is going to run off codes.
If we got rid of the codes people would complain about poaching healthier people and denying care.
