edwardspeter+FollowWhy Your Doctor Bill Is SkyrocketingEver noticed your urgent care or ER bill seems way higher than expected, even for something minor? Turns out, 'upcoding' is on the rise—providers are billing visits as more complex than they really are, just to get paid more. A new study found that even simple issues like rashes are being coded at high-intensity levels. The result? We all pay more, whether it’s through insurance, higher premiums, or out-of-pocket. Time to double-check those medical bills! #HealthcareCosts #MedicalBilling #Upcoding #Insurance #PatientAwareness #Health00Share
