But if they make you stop, and prove, and justify something obvious. Maybe the patient will die before you can order more expensive services. Think of how much money they could say if if their patients die when they’re in the hospital before running up a bill!!!

Burn it to the ground. All of it.
They don’t learn, do they?

Just because it is legal doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be punishable.
For every denial of claim, the burden of proof should be on the insurance company. The assumption should be, if a doctor ordered it, it was necessary.
That’s because they know the patient is going to die and it will be cheaper for them that way.
Their actions will ensure the patient dies.
That’s how they know
No it won’t. Hospitals are required to provide life saving care until the patient is stable regardless of insurance.
That’s different from preventing death. Trying to stabilise a terminal cancer patient is significantly different from treating it before it becomes terminal, being in a coma might not be immediately live threatening but removing the patient from the hospital until it becomes so can remove any chance of recovery. And even if you survive, if you only get treatment when it’s already a life or death situation the outcomes can be much worse.
Even in countries with universal healthcare, these decisions also need to be made. We don’t have unlimited money or resources to spend when cases are likely hopeless.
So you’re saying it’s the insurance company’s job is to decide who is in a state to die, not a doctor. Why do we even have doctors? So when you have a medical emergency, why won’t you just go to the insurance company instead of a hospital, when the company is better in making medical decisions anyway?
This may be new to you, but insurance companies have no medical training.
The state of the woman in the ICU might sound hopeless but the coma can be medically induced due to the brain hemorrhage and with the proper medical care she could recover, if indeed her state isn’t too bad. This is something doctors are for, to calculate her chances and fight for her life if there is a chance of survival. If there’s no chance, it’s the family’s choice to pull the plug.
But you’re fine with an insurance company calculating what it might cost to them then to make the decision to let her die?
It’s my understanding that a doctor, employed by the insurance agency, makes these calls.
Nope.
Astounding rebuttal. I am obviously wrong. The votes prove it!
A doctor is only allowed to be a doctor when they took the Hippocratic Oath. They will lose it when they would give up people their lives for the profits of an insurance company. Doctors do not work for them, the people judging whether they will payout your insurance claim have no medical training.
