ah, no. they are reporting everone who dies, that tests positive for it, as the primary cause. that is FACT, dbag, and the govt is financially incentivizing fraud. they even admitted it Birs=x admitted, and thats CDC policy. you lose.

There is no financial incentive for hospitals to lie about covid deaths. The billing forms that hospitals turn in to CMS for reimbursement don't have space for ICD (diagnosis) codes, only CPT (procedure) codes.

They get paid the same amount by CMS for a patient on a ventilator regardless of why that patient is on a ventilator.

"Hospitals are lying because they get paid more for covid patients" is a lie. More misinformation.

Gateway Pundit is not a reputable source of information of any sort.

I work in the healthcare industry on the metrics side of things. I'm very familiar with how hospitals bill CMS for patients. There's absolutely no financial incentive for them to lie about covid-19 deaths. They don't even bill based on diagnosis.

Incorrect.

There isn't even a spot on the forms they turn in to CMS to list a diagnosis code (ICD). Those forms take only CPT (procedures rendered) codes for financial reimbursements.
