What's wrong with this picture?


...everything!
I just opened the mail from the "Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
"This is a summary of claims processed from 8-28-09 through 11-06-09.
Radiology .etc referred by Dr. ----
Amount Charged $66
Medicare Approved $11.05
Medicare Paid Provider $8.84
You may be billed $2.21????
Dr So and So, Referred by Dr. --
Amount Charged $256.00
Medicare Approved $42.13
Medicare Paid Provider $34.50
You May be billed $8.63
It's just wrong, that's all, it's just wrong!
Who does the math for these things?

I once spoke with a government representative,state level, who told me without blinking that if she's "correct 50% of the time, she's satisfied." These people are in charge. Run. Hide.
