And the list of diagnoses is never correct, ie, DM... I am not diabetic, HTN, I never had high BP and never medicated for same. My spouse's reports are the same. One doc had noted in the H & P (pt history) that my husband has 5-9 drinks of alcohol daily..... NEVER in 40 years have I seen my spouse have more than 1 cocktail before dinner.... it's deplorable.....and this is not only in TV....

Is this so insurance or medicare would pay them more?

I have noticed some odd things in mine as well.
