Everything is computerized. No one keeps health care records in manila binders anymore. Payment info can now be electronically sent to the state.

That’s what I saw when I went to the hospital for outpatient care.

It IS the electronic records that are so onerous. A FReeper physician said he/she was spending three times as much time entering and correcting data than seeing patients.

In Washington State the claims are sent to the "health management companies". These are contractors to the state such as Community Health Care and Molina that manage the state Medicaid system..
