CALLER: Medical coding. We read the report and put numbers to it so that we can bill the insurance.
RUSH: All right.
CALLER: And there’s a lot of cases where people come in and say that they’ve exposed but they’re being coded as though they have COVID-19, even though they haven’t even been tested.
RUSH: You’ve seen this?
CALLER: Yes, sir.
RUSH: Have you been forced to do this?
CALLER: No, I code it properly, but the dictation in the note, I can’t control the hospital side of coding. I code for the ER doctor, but the hospital side is coding it as though the patient does have the COVID-19.
RUSH: Even if they’ve not even been tested, you’ve seen this happen?
CALLER: Yes, sir, so the numbers are skewed everywhere.
RUSH: Is there a question of money, the more people that reportedly test positive, is there some kind of financial remuneration for the hospital?
CALLER: Yes.
RUSH: Well, that’s pretty simple. That sounds right. So no wonder you’re having to call in here anonymously and not even tell us what part of the state of Texas that you’re in because you’re revealing some really earth-shattering information here.
