Botton line my insurance company was charged $779.00 for this! Can you imagine what the cost would have been if I was seen by a "REAL" doctor?

This mess (all medical orders by computer) is what is mandated by government, for
all hospitals and providers, and the software is designed and sold by many different companies making it different in every clinical setting and thus, a nearly insurmountable learning curve for every nurse, PA, doctor to wrestle and beat into submission WHILE they are trying to take care of a patient---AKA "a PERSON who is sick and vulnerable and in need of a doctor, not a data entry technician with eyes fixed on a computer". Also, the software is
billing oriented, and NOT patient care oriented.
But unknowing people keep on voting for campaign promises of government-only, single-payer healthcare, and this is what we're getting. And it's only just begun.
