message from my dr about my long term covid so sad now
Post-COVID Recovery & COVID-19 | Last Active: Jan 11, 2023 | Replies (24)Comment receiving replies
First Question - How old are you? Being 75, fully insured and up till long covid I was an attractive employee - Now I feel that the medical industry doesn't want to waste medical money on me - no diagnostics, no pain / symptom care, no medical expense too minor to reject. Better known as Medical Age discrimination (You're so old any care you receive would be wasted as you will probably die of something else before you're cured.
Second Question - Do you think the lack of care is Pharmaceutical or Insurance generated? I feel there is a strong interest in not determining why (Long Covid) is caused or allowing diagnostics or care for it. It's almost like a "Risk Analysis" report - If you don't know who or why - how can you determine a responsibility of risk? I have never found so many not interested in spending my (I'm kidding") insurance money! After paying for 50+ years they would rather let me die than figure out what is wrong.

Hi. I believe there's truth to your analysis. I too observed my dual certified Dr being devoid of interest in performing specific tests that I know are indicated and appropriate. Turns out that Medicare Advantage programs financially reward Drs for low expense outlays similar to HMO's. I saw that posted on a small 3x5 card in the corner of the Lab, but I didn't have my phone with me to take a pic of it. Providers give the stats to insurers and get financial benefits. Also, I noticed my Dr padded my list of dxs on each visit. I learned this was to get higher payment per visit. There's corruption in the system. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's reality.
