  • Epstein Files Released

  • I searched EFTA0000 after realizing that those datasets had a lot of photos. Those documents say it all. Pictures of politicians mixed in with redacted CSAM. Clinton with a girl on his lap.

    They’re all implicated. They all need to be held accountable.

  • U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors

  • I work for doctors. They literally can’t upsell because insurance won’t pay.

    Your doctor makes a bullet pointed list of diagnosed conditions called medical codes. A licensed medical coder (whose license is dependent on accuracy) reviews the doctors codes and edits the bill to only charge for conditions that are within the scope of the specialty and justified by the data collected in the visit notes.

    The bill is then passed to the insurance company who has their own medical coders who review the work of the previous medical coder. If they believe the bill is inaccurate, it is reviewed by another doctor who works for the insurance company. If the bill is determined to still be inaccurate, the insurance company refuses to pay and kicks the bill back to the practice.

    If many bills are determined to be inaccurate, the medical practice is audited to see if there has been a pattern of upcharging or inaccurate coding.

    This is the point where a multi-million dollar lawsuit can start, and the practice finds themselves in court to have a judge determine if they should be paid for their work. If they lose those lawsuits, they lose coverage from the whole insurance company, and that is how a practice goes bankrupt.

    Don’t get me wrong—for profit healthcare can lead to problems, but believe it or not, the system is designed to keep things above board and make sure that people are charged accurately.

    The real issue is that each insurance company has contracts with each network of practices to pay them a designated percentage of the overall bill as a deal to keep them in network, so healthcare costs are extremely high because the practice will only get a percentage of the billed cost as pursuant to the individual agreement with that insurance provider. If you have to pay out of pocket because you went out of network, you are eating a huge cost while an in practice provider would be getting much less money after it was processed by your insurance company.

  • I'm new to lemmy, came from reddit. What's the lemmy etiquette like? How different is it from reddiqutte?

  • I get around, lol. I’ve been on Lemmy for quite a while now.

    My girlfriend is also on the spectrum, so I try to handle neurodivergent misunderstandings here the same way I do with her: cunnilingus, uh, I mean, a clearly worded rephrasing of my statement.

    Glad you found us, it sounds like you’ll fit in well here.

  • For what it’s worth, I interpreted your original comment as a joke, but then the doubling and tripling down made me think you were serious. Sometimes you should just let the original lol stand alone.

  • It’s smaller, but more personable. It’s full of neurodivergent, queer, and tech oriented people. It has its own inside jokes—you will want to read up on beans.

    Overall, I have enjoyed the experience. Sometimes, I have been surprised when people can’t detect obvious jokes or sarcasm, but then I remember how many people here are neurodivergent and try to reply with something kind and straightforward so we’re on the same page.

    People tend to be very leftist compared to the rest of the internet, so it’s good to remember that the opinions here are not always representative of the world at large.

    A huge chunk of Lemmy is German, and that part of the community remains a total mystery to me because I don’t speak German. They seem cool from afar.

    Which communities you are able to see depends pretty heavily on which instance is your home base—I’m with DB0, and we federate with pretty much everyone who isn’t doing something detestably illegal, but LemmyWorld is much more exclusive with who they federate with, so their users don’t see the same instances that I do. Pick a home instance that fits you best because it will matter a lot as you find communities.

    You will see interactions between communists and anarchists. Try to remember that you don’t have to comment on everything you might disagree with.

    Welcome to the Fediverse—we’re happy to have you.
