What caused it? And was it a programming error? Did the money go to the doctors or to the owners of the company?

Doctors at TVH don't work on commission. They are salaried. The specific codes are irrelevant, to patients, unless the billing error is affecting their bill. This miscoding didn't affect patient billing at all, and so patients really don't need to hear all the nitty gritty details.
They need to know there was a mistake. The mistake was found, and reported. The mistake was corrected so that it can't happen again. There's a debt that has to be repaid as a result. It's in the process of being repaid.
