Best, non medical, 1st hand information I've received. To my face froma covid widow.....
A friend, acquantence, lost her husband last May. She's 54, he was 60.
After a week of really sick, breathing problems. AND 4 separate Bug Tests, All came back negative....
They went to the E.R. of course they wouldnt let her past the door with her very sick husband.
All the while repeating its not covid I've been tested.......
She spoke with him and the Docs everyday. Test him ! its not covid.....
5 days, on a ventilator, in the covid wing. He died......
Both head docs signed covid death documentation.....
Never ran a single test.
She got his body out of there. Private autopsy. He dies from advanced viral pnemonia.
Of course, shes now talking to lawyers.
But they told her, dont hold your breath. most likely ALL covid death related lawsuits will be dismissed by the Supreme Courts.
Why do Docs lie.....
Average expense ratio. Team of Docs, nurses, Ventilator, hospital room afdds up to $$$X dollars per day times XX amount of days. insurance companies cant handle so Feds are writing an average check, here in Illinois anyway for $250K per covid death. Its a cash cow. Thats why the hospitals are writing everything as covid.
This from her lawyer, to her, to my face.
Nothing off the internet.

My moms friend had this exact same thing happen to her husband a month or two ago. He was diagnosed with pneumonia but on his death certificate the hospital put COVID pneumonia. Unbelievable...

Not all will be dismissed by the Supreme Court. One of the guys on my crew had his son's friend (basically a son to him) get killed while riding his motorcycle when someone tuned in front of him. The hospital signed it off as covid and now the person at fault's insurance won't pay because the death certificate states covid not traumatic injuries due to traffic accident.

Kaiser Permanente So Cal (5 counties) has received HOW MUCH from the Govt. for COVID Deaths?
0

Again , ZERO

Urban legends are cute to talk about , but when there are FACTS, they are what they are

This is because Kaiser does not bill Medicare directly. As part of the CARES act which is now law, Medicare must reimburse for the treatment of COVID-19 at a rate of 20% more than what the usual reimbursement is for a given CPT code. So if the Medicare allowable comes to $100,000 to treat a COVID patient in the ICU, Medicare must pay that hospital $120,000. Kaiser does receive money from Medicare but it is not tied to specific billing codes rather they get a fixed amount for every Medicare patient on their plan whether you use their insurance or not.

I don’t appreciate you guys spreading this kind of misinformation. The guys with tiktoking nurses say that it’s real and there are mobile morgues lined up around the block housing GORILLIONS of Plague riddled bodies. I believe the science and the dances. I will get the jab. I will wear panty hose above my 19 masks. Plz guise. It’s real

Is it real? Yes and for certain groups deadly. But the discussion was on do hospitals gets $$ for Covid deaths. I am not going to say they are “over reporting”. I dont have that info. But do they get $$$? Sounds like it

FALSE
And while you’re at it cite your source that you got this information ?
I’d sure like to hear it

I got the vaccine at dodger Stadium guess who got charged for that vaccine given by carbon health? That’s right my plan Kiser

you’re welcome

You could read it in the CARES act itself but it is 1000s of pages, or look HERE. The 20% increase was recently backdated to January of 2020 and luckily, for hospital admissions on or after 9/1/2020 the patient must have a positive COVID test in their chart for the hospital to receive the 20%.

This summary came from the Heritage Foundation:

"The CARES Act authorized a temporary 20 percent increase in reimbursements from Medicare for COVID-19 patients to account for both anticipated and unanticipated increases in the cost of care for these medically complex patients," explained Dr. Summer McGee, dean of the School of Health Sciences at the University of New Haven.

Instead of getting paid the DRG rate, a hospital that admits a coronavirus patient will receive 20 percent more compensation than they would for providing that same care to a non-coronavirus patient.

"Imagine two Medicare patients, one with COVID-19 and another one not, with pneumonia in the same ICU. Medicare will pay, for example, $10,000 for the pneumonia patient who doesn't have COVID-19 and $12,000 for the patient who does," he surmised. "The rationale is that this provides a sort of rough justice method of making sure that hospitals that get a lot of COVID-19 patients also get extra money from the government."


As for the Kaiser information, it is called "capitation" and is not unique to Kaiser, most HMOs pay their medical groups this way (a fixed amount per insured person).

Has nothing to do with Kaiser so again false just check your facts next time I don’t say that my pontoon goes 80 miles an hour when it has a small block pretty much the same correlation here

I was simply pointing out that hospitals are getting paid more for COVID patients but I agreed with you that Kaiser does not get any of it, and I described why. Nothing false about anything I have said.

Kaiser Foots the bill, tell us all here how Cares pays for it ?
THEY HAVE NOT
News flash
Do you work for CARES, or a health care provider ?
Or just post articles ?

Please go back and read what I wrote. CARES does not pay Kaiser or any other capitated plan. CARES pays providers and hospitals 20% extra for COVID treatments of Medicare patients. And, Kaiser does not foot the bill, its members do. As for the articles, you asked for sources.

Wrong
Kaiser foots the bill as an organization

And as for “BS “ COVID label deaths

If ANY inmate has a first hand story with a Kaiser COVID death that was done to get “extra Money”

Send me a PM

Chances are I can get some more clarification of a said contested “Covid” death

The Horse’s mouth is usually a tad more factual than hearsay
Dude, who said Kaiser except you? Chill

The OP was commenting that hospitals get paid more for COVID deaths and I shared some detail on why and how much. You brought up Kaiser. And I have said now multiple times, Kaiser does not get any extra money.

I give no fuks about Kaiser but I will tell you FOR A FACT that "hospitals" are getting paid for COVID-19 patients and deaths! And this comes from the horses mouth, the head of one of our local hospitals!! FACT!!

So unless you are "the head" you may not get the correct info cause its definitely not "public knowledge"! FACT!!

Facts and truth don’t get to picked as an R or D side
K P has several hundred thousand insured
At least 8k have died in their So cal hospitals
The fact they have not received a single cent needs to be said

Do some small , crummy hospitals screw deaths ? Like screwed up small agencies in all professions , sure could be

I have direct access to KP on a large scale, the numbers and reimbursements (none), don’t lie.
It’s just like my Department: I’ll tell you where we did wrong but I won’t allow BS lies be tossed around and just let them sit there to be taken as truth.

Make no mistake , telling the truth can put a man in a desolate spot.

All good, been here awhile lol


Well let's see some evidence of these facts? Or are we just supposed to take your word for it? Because last I heard the bomb squad has no access to a hospitals financial record🤷🏻‍♂️ definitely curious!

My brother's friend died last May in Chicago while having been on a ventilator for five days. They ran four different Covid tests. All were negative. The cause of was determined to be pulmonary failure caused by complications of HIV. Covid was not listed as a cause.

I talk about facts and not saying one bad apple means the whole apple truck is totaled.

I got no dog in this hunt but there is a skunk here cuz this shit (thread) stinks...


An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation looked at average Medicare payments for hospital admissions for the existing diagnosis-related groups and noted that the “average Medicare payment for respiratory infections and inflammations with major comorbidities or complications in 2017 … was $13,297. For more severe hospitalizations, we use the average Medicare payment for a respiratory system diagnosis with ventilator support for greater than 96 hours, which was $40,218.”

It is true, however, that the government will pay more to hospitals for COVID-19 cases in two senses: By paying an additional 20% on top of traditional Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients during the public health emergency, and by reimbursing hospitals for treating the uninsured patients with the disease (at that enhanced Medicare rate).

Both of those provisions stem from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act.

The CARES Act created the 20% add-on to be paid for Medicare patients with COVID-19. The act further created a $100 billion fund that is being used to financially assist hospitals — a “portion” of which will be “used to reimburse healthcare providers, at Medicare rates, for COVID-related treatment of the uninsured,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

As the Kaiser analysis noted, though, “it is unclear whether the new fund will be able to cover the costs of the uninsured in addition to other needs, such as the purchase of medical supplies and the construction of temporary facilities.”

PS: I support LEOs but don't appreciate when they or anyone can't discuss issues and provide facts

This entire thing has been exploited in dozens of ways, by countless interests, ranging from good to scammy, to down right malevolent.

It should be perfectly obvious to anyone paying attention at this point. Covid doesn't scare me, what the government and system are using it to exploit does.

40k patients , over 8k Covid patients
0 reimbursement, and that’s with several thousand extra Medicare patients thrown in that were supposed to be compensated
Never.happened
It’s a fact and gets silly reading hearsay posts from inmates about hospitals making tons of money vs having spouses at reigns that see what’s actually happening money wise

again
The easy road is to kick the can

Always been an LR2 Fan...

But as Joe Public, no one does anything for free.. KP or any hospital. No profitable elective surgeries allowed? They need to make $ somehow and doing Covid type of services and all the OT employees are doing and getting paid for (I think you mentioned in a thread $38k in taxes due to OT) due to covid related treatment, is coming from somewhere. What benefit would hospitals have in declaring a death Covid when they dont get extra $? Public record shows KP took a big hit in Q1 in 2020... kinda jives with what LR2 says... but let's see what the $s #s are after everything is cleared up.. no facts to back up my thoughts, just an opinion of what I see and hear. Carry on..
