Misreporting covid cases for more money would fall under medicare fraud. I'm really skeptical this is happening because the whistleblower law for Medicare fraud allows the whistleblower to claim 25% of whatever the government recovers. So I am to believe that there all these people working in labs and hospitals that know fraud is taking place and would get a huge payday from blowing the whistle but choose not to report?
Yeah healthcare in America is way overpriced but that's a topic for another day.
This is most likely happening in every hospital in America. And why wouldn't hospitals do it? They aren't being challenged.
Obviously covid is causing deaths......the problem is .....how many?
If covid incentives stopped immediately.......how many covid deaths would there be?
It’s all about greed. Even the whistleblowers are waiting until the end when the payday will be bigger.
If that was the case they'd stay quiet about it instead of telling all their friends.
It is true. I was doing security work for a government database (southeast, GA). Their systems do not have the ability to distinguish between separate tests for the same person. The only thing the database separates is from the 'Is positive column' from the 'Y' and 'N' flag. You probably won't hear this reported by medical personnel because they likely don't even know it is an issue. The only reason I have it is I was third party security and have no ties to them.
Note: I have no data for private medical facilities only government.
You have a terrible sarcasm meter.
That doesn't mean all the tests are being counted as cases.
You never know on the internet.
It means that all entries with a 'Y' flag are being counted as positive cases. The suggestion that I gave them was to broaden the report query to include things like name and DOB to get more accurate counts.
Well if it is in fact true, and the actual number of cases is substantially lower than being reported then I might change my tune on this whole thing because that means the death rate is a shitload higher.
Seems odd they would use a Y/N setup for test results for true number of cases. Definitely wrong if that was the case.
All I can say was it was true for that one government facility. Other facilities might use different tools to gather data that might be more accurate. I know for a fact that private hospitals/labs do use better software.
Not really odd that they use it. It makes it easier on the system as far as resource allocation. However, if you are looking for accuracy, you need to filter it with more data then just Y/N.
That was what I was trying to say but you did it better.
