Insurance companies NEEEEEEEED a complete overhaul

@rafaelb2099 5 месяцев назад

@@madisenhill960 What you want is a two-tier system or a fully private system with high levels of transparency. You don't want state-run healthcare believe me. I live in the UK and I'm originally from Portugal, both with basically fully run state care,. Not good. Most of the 1st world countries have a two-tier system and in the US you are not too far from it but it needs a complete overhaul. You have Medicaid and Medicare which is basically public insurance but not for everyone from what I know. There are many reasons why costs are so expensive however I believe the lack of transparency between hospitals and patients in terms of prices is one of the main reasons prices are out of control. You guys need to vote for people into power that can't be bought by big pharma and the corporations that run the hospital, only away for the system to change. And once again, I don't have to remind you that universal healthcare is not free, you will have to pay extra in taxes and potentially still have to pay for private insurance anyway (my case at least) unless you want to be one of the 7.5 million people currently on the NHS waiting list.

These videos are produced with such high quality. Amazing work by Dr Webb. I subscribed years ago, after Dr Michael Cellini said he was inspired by Dr Webb. These videos provide so much insight into the life of doctor, and in particular spine surgeon. I work as personal injury lawyer and work with many spine surgeons and it is great to see all this. I also love how Dr Webb uses a person to film everything, and the content is again such high quality. How Dr Webb finds the time to do all this is amazing, especially as a husband, father, doctor and content creator. Well done Dr Webb, I hope you continue to derive satisfaction for all you do for you, your family, your patients, and your viewers.

Dr. Webb is absolutely right about the Insurance not paying them (Surgeons) to help out patients who are in need of Surgery. It happened to me 2 weeks ago when my insurance did not let the Surgeon to use this particular chemical (Correct me if I’m wrong if there’s a specific word besides chemical) for me during surgery so I ended up not getting the surgery and I’m paying shit load of money to them (My Insurance Company) every month. Sad world we live in!

Ive e been a nurse 20 years. I’ve worked with surgeons, pain specialist and many other specialists but many Insurance companies dictate the medical field. I hate it and even if the doctor against what insurance will cover and not cover the insurance has last call. It sucks. I’ve had many heated arguments with medical insurance companies but it’s all about money and cost. I’ve wanted to walk away many times from medicine because how medical insurance is run but I won’t because I love helping people and I’m good at it.

@TroysPop 5 месяцев назад

@davidhoover2446 5 месяцев назад

You should start sending your patients to good chiropractors that do spinal curve correction and full spine adjustments plus decompression. Cracking people and sending them home isn’t enough. I had severe degeneration at L5 S1 and after a few months of chiropractic and at home therapy, my back is healing and moving again going from 15/10 pain to no pain and getting my life back. Very few people know and understand these different ways to heal the spine without surgery. It’s sad when I see people stuck in the medical system where nothing works and they get no information or real help. Usually it’s some kind of injection or nerve stuff not addressing the root problem. Each doctor is isolated from the other with no comprehensive approach. That was me until I found a spine center to actually show me how to do the proper therapies to get the correct curves in my neck and lumbar spine with x ray proof. I do specific exercises and stretching every single day at home, plus chiropractic, and I also did cupping at their practice. All of which provide permanent changes and I’ve been in no pain. I wish more people knew this.

@Fyx5010 6 месяцев назад

Insurance companies implement utilization reviews in which referrals for treatment are obtained and reviewed against generally accepted medical practices such as Office of Disability Guidelines and/or American Medical Association. If the treatment or referral is outside of these guidelines, then a peer review is usually warranted. This is where peer-to-peer phone calls are conducted with the peer doctor and treating doctor to better understand the reasons for the treatment in which Dr. Webb expresses his frustration about. Unfortunately, this can be a time consuming process, but insurance companies have the legal right to have a third party reviewer make determinations whether a treatment will be accepted and paid for by the insurer. Hopefully there will be a more streamlined process that allows for uninterrupted treatment.

@misspapo3444 6 месяцев назад

@juannoval69 7 месяцев назад

Dr. Webb, I totally understand your frustration with the insurance companies. I sometimes wonder if I decided not to pay my insurance premiums on any particular month or months of the year (of course, not an option since it comes out of my paycheck automatically), because I did not need any medical services the same way they will deny coverage on certain procedures because they deem it not medically necessary even though you are in pain. I am sure they would not like it one bit. Sad fact is that you as doctor have to battle with these guys on a daily and us as patients have to do the same when we get sick or are in pain. Frustrating.

@333mikeray 3 месяца назад

You rock Doc! My wife owns a reimbursement coding company for last 30 years and at 55 I decided I'm gonna go to Medical School prob some island college ha ha, but what my primary goal is simply have the M.D designation so when we constantly fight and have to sue for payments and reimbursements I'm on staff 24/7. Insurance companies want a fight and want to consume your time. Law firms found that a chiropractor can be made to even look like an MD on paper and phone since almost all our cases are settled. I already have numerous science and law enforcement degrees but am super excited to start med school and not be so under pressure as a real MD has to go thru with residency and specialties.Like I say the last and lowest scorer in medical school is also called an MD. 😂 You Rock however and R the real deal. I'll be the one fighting to get you guys paid by suing these criminals called insurance companies.

I've had so many injections, ambulation. 3 yrs ago the back surgeon suggested I hold of surgery as long as possible cause back surgery is like opening a can of worms and since I don't have constant shooting pain down leg. I do experience it quite a few times a week lot of numbness in left butt cheek and leg, use a cane cause of back spasms

The second surgery in 2022 was to take out all the hardware to put new hardware in and now my CT scan a couple weeks ago said “Pedicle screw at T9 engages the left transverse process and enters the costovertebral joint” does this mean more surgery? The waitlist for surgery in my country is so long and the pain is awful. I’m starting to look into getting my scoliosis fixed in the US because I can’t wait 2 years again. I would love some insight!

Now imagine if the surgeon does just 3 per week!!! Made more off the brace than the office visit! Health Care is expensive because this practice... why BCBS would even pay them $889 for a brace that is $363 from the same company is beyond me.
