Show Notes
Connecticut cardiologist, Dr. Peter Hahn, exposes the financial strain of downcoding by insurance companies, costing him nearly $100,000. Insurers justify it as a cost-cutting measure, but providers like Hahn argue it leads to lengthy appeals and increased paperwork. State lawmakers are addressing the issue with proposed reforms, backed by the Connecticut Hospital Association, which claims downcoding undermines clinical judgment and raises costs for all.
