Yes, I think that’s exactly what my doctor was trying to describe. He said if they’re at that point, they basically have to guess what information they’re looking for other than “I’m a qualified physician that has run diagnostic tests and determined this is the best course of treatment. Here are those tests and why it indicates X and therefore requires Y.”
I’ve had to do unnecessary labs to prove an ailment wasn’t something else that some person hundreds or thousands of miles away thought it might be.
If you think you hate insurance companies, find an honest doctor and ask them what they think of the US Healthcare system and health insurance. I’ve never seen a doctor so worked up and angry than when discussing the current medical system.
