This is what you wrote in post 25. The first sentence seems to indicate that you interpreted my post to indicate that Doctors were being forced to do this. So yes, I did read what you wrote. I also felt that my sentence on that could have been clearer, and attempted to explain.
As to your rant about codes, please review my posts, I never said a word about codes, and I do understand quite a lot about codes and insurance billing. Perhaps you are thinking of browniexyz, or someone else who you were discussing codes with.
Now, I'm a pretty old person, so I happen to remember a time when the government was a heck of a lot less intrusive than it is today. I tend to get a little nostalgic for the freedoms we've lost.
If you think we have more freedom today than we did in the past, that's ok with me. Think what you will, but every now and then, I just get darned frustrated about it.
I am so glad that you don't share those frustrations-it's obvious that you are already full to the brim from your responses on this thread alone-any more might jack up your blood pressure to stroke levels.
No need to continue this discussion, as I was only trying to clarify my statement, not pick a fight. Settle down now, and have a good night. God Bless.
You seem to think that because I make the point that coding is about payment to your doctor... unless you are paying out of pocket somehow means I like government medicine.
I have referred to government medicine as socialized medicine.
How you draw the conclusion that I ever said anything about our state of freedom (or lack thereof)is completely out of left field. You totally ignore the idea that insurers (no matter the source) use codes for payment schedules. You instead talk about nostalgia and government intrusion.
You aren’t any (or much) older than I am so cut it out. You then run away without ever dealing with the simple reality that the true concern people should have is about the boards that decide what services you will be allowed.
I don’t know if you intentionally chose to misunderstand my comments or you just are that confused. Logic and coherence were not your strong suit here
