In all my experience, the doctors, nurses and other workers are totally ignorant as to what a person’s coverage is - when they are taking care of a person’s medical condition in a facility. If I am in one hospital room and someone else is in another room - we will all get the same level of care for what the facility and doctors deliver normally.

When my dad was in the hospital (numerous times) - he not only would get food choices, but adjusting the temperature of his room, and having a translator there, too - plus getting the same kind of general care that the others received in the facility.

I doubt that the doctors and nurses and the facility adjusted their care of patients - when they are there - according to the source of funds. I can’t see or even believe that when seeing this little girl, they would deliver her only 75% of the normal level of care - and then when they saw another patient getting “free funds” - would then deliver to that person 100% of the level of care.

I rhink you better talk to the doctors and nurses and ask them if they adjust the level of care according to whether the funds are free or not - and thus if they are receiving those free funds they get the top level of service, and if it’s another plan - they deliver only a percentage of the service they are capable of delivering ... LOL ...

Health care providers don’t modify their care based on insurance coverage. They do, apparently, based on the nature/severity of the illness. I remember reading a study in which terminally ill patients had to ring their call buttons much longer than those patients who were less well. It was a fairly well known study.
