True. And tens of thousands of nut jobs who have no insurance are free to roam the highways and byways of America causing harm and damage wherever they go.
from the article:
“So let’s look at how much Pontiac General is getting for all of those in-patient stays.
Dr. Kheir was the chief psychiatrist there from 2016 through April 2023.
Medicaid pays for patients through the Oakland and Wayne County community health networks.
In Wayne County, the hospital’s contract calls for at least $880 a day for in-patient care.
In Oakland County, according to the contract, the hospital can bill for at least $950 a day.
That means Bri Jackson’s stay racked up at least $7,600 in Medicaid fees for the hospital.
Since 2017, the Oakland Community Health Network has paid Pontiac General $24,261,583.22 in Medicaid mental health payments.
$6,712,193.22 of that was for Bipolar diagnoses, and $14,023,171.10 was for Psychosis diagnoses – two common labels court records show patients are given on those clinical certificates that are used to hold them.”

I’ll figure the most in the area are Medicaid. These places have learned how to bill Medicaid and get more money.
