Assuming they didn't lie on the charting for some reason.
That said, if this is accurate (no reason to believe it isn't), there needs to be a discussion around how to provide best patient care & demand I surance companies pay for what doctors say is needed.
This BS of insurance only paying for what they think is good enough needs to stop.
Really insurance as a general rule needs to stop, though this likely stems from leaving the gold standard.
My parents told me that as a kid they could afford to pay the doctors out of pocket for almost everything when the dollar still had some value & insurance didn't exist.
I am too young for house call by MDs, though I have a great chiropractor that makes them & just learned about a local nurse that gives I treatments in home too.
Health insurance truly needs a great structuring same as government.
For years, I do not pay for health insurance because I know I could just use herbal medicines and if I need to, pay for doctors on my own. Now, dental is a different story.
Then Obama Care comes along.
Right now, $10 per paycheck just in case for some catastrophic thing that needs hospitalization. 3 times a year for office visit which I don't use.

Remember house calls?
