Unfortunately, that would mean that there would be even fewer doctors available for Medicare patients.

People will do what they always do when asked to do the impossible, they will do what they can do and fudge the rest.

Boy, ain't that the truth! I had several jobs where most employee energy went into gaming the system in ways to make it appear they were doing the impossible in order to stay off all the sh** lists.

Apparently, the International Classification of Disease is the ‘Common Core’ of medicine.”

We have a Winner! IDC has now made itself a disaster as large as Common Core. Now guess who is going to suffer and and who is going to get rich.

“...being burned due to water skis on fire (V91.07XD)”

That must have been one helluva show!

Also, under Directive 10-289, no one will be permitted to catch a disease or suffer an injury that is not already listed in ICD-10.

It does mean transitioning out Medicare patients, leaving only those who need Medicare. The rest, who still have taxable income, should get tax relief in exchange for using private health care instead of Medicare. Sweetened a little so they actually get more money by not using it.

This will free up a lot of doctors to take the remaining Medicare patients.

You know, few years back I saw some pics of the aftermath of someone getting sucked into a jet engine.

Not sure why a medical treatment code would be needed. Instead of the number for the local IHOP to borrow some spatulas.

“A sailor was inadvertently sucked into a jet engine on a U.S. aircraft carrier and he survived with minor cuts and bruises. There is a video on Youtube concerning that accident.”

I guess that is why there is a code for that! Incredible.
