Hospitals Paid Extra to List Patients as COVID19 & 3X as Much if the Patient on Ventilator

Last night Senator Dr. Scott Jensen from Minnesota went on The Ingraham Angle to discuss how the AMA is encouraging American doctors to overcount coronavirus deaths across the US.

This was after Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota physician and Republican state senator, told a local station he received a 7-page document coaching him to fill out death certificates with a COVID-19 diagnosis without a lab test to confirm the patient actually had the virus.

Dr. Jensen also disclosed that hospitals are paid more if they list patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis. And hospitals get paid THREE TIMES AS MUCH if the patient then goes on a ventilator.

Senator Dr. Scott Jensen: Right now Medicare is determining that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital you get $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator you get $39,000, three times as much. Nobody can tell me after 35 years in the world of medicine that sometimes those kinds of things impact on what we do.

    The entire matter is grotesquely exaggerated.

    Thank this doc.tor for down to earth logic.
    My old father of 96 died because of pneumonia
    Not breathing in and out properly and deep enough to keep lungs healthy is common among old people who are not moving around a lot and who are sitting in chairs all day.
    Did he die from sitting still or from pneumonia?

    And thank you Fox News.

    In reply to Einstein
    One of the clinical-management problems with the elderly is that they are immobile for long periods and rarely get their lungs full, its called a lack of Tidal Volume and this leads to hypostatic pneumonia which simply means ‘low activity induced pneumonia’ – very common, usually kills … and so sorry for your loss, may he rest in peace
