Medicare denies more claims than all private insurance combined

Did you read the fine print? Denied means unwilling to pay the full amount billed, it doesn't deny the procedure. Medicare is showing it is the most fiscally challenging of those listed.

Also double all the other carriers combined would be double 27.2, 54.4% of claims denied.


Just thought I'd jump in with a little fact check for you. See you around.

I'm guessing your fact check missed the "Payment = 0" part of that fineprint.

Your entire post is wrong.

It doesn't count being unwilling to pay the full amount.

Still, its a horrible way to compare.  If a private insurance company only pays 2% of the claim, that isnt included.  Thats not to mention that many insurance companies only pay a certain percentage of whatever the claim is.
