PRIVATE PRACTICE DOCTORS ARE ON THE ROPES. – 1, 2, 25, 27, 33*

U.S. doctors have just over 90 days to comply with a regulation that will cost them between $56,000 and $8 million.
ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) is the name. This “improvement” replaces ICD-9.
One doctor said, “I’ve been a practicing surgeon now for about 25 years and during all that time I have never once even thought about consulting the ICD coding system to help me
decide what was wrong with a patient or to aid me in deciding how to treat a patient.”
The ICD-10 system increases the total number of codes fivefold, from more than 14,000 to nearly 69,000.
ICD-10 will cause severe administrative burdens and decreased reimbursements.
Independent doctors may very well choose to retire or join a large practice or hospital system.
Liberals will do whatever is necessary to gain control of an industry and to advance a One World government. In this case their sights are set on free-market medical care.
