What they should have is a national clearinghouse for every insurance provider and their in-network physicians. We have these and use them and have for YEARS. You have made a remark about "technology", and you have not the slightest idea what technology is already in place. Claims are submitted to the clearinghouse, eligibility requests are handled in real time, remittance advices are returned via clearinghouse, payments are electronically posted to patient accounts, patient statements are processed by clearinghouse. You and Fowler are just alike. You know ZERO about this process, and come here with comments like these. Hell, providers are COVERED UP with technology. I had already responded to your other points when I read your remark on this, and just discarded it because this line of your post was so overwhelmingly uninformed. Anyway, I could go on, but there is plenty of waste and re-work in the process that could use a good Six Sigma Blackbelt to tackle. Sure, you could go on, because you don't have a clue what technology has and what has NOT been implemented. Damn, man, if you're going to comment on something, at least know a little bit about it.
