My dad used to have a job where he’d basically go around to failing small-time family practices and help the doctors there figure out their financials. I remember him telling me that in an extremely typical scenario, he’d walk into their office and somewhere in there he would find a huge stack of unfiled insurance claims. Usually when he’d ask them about this, the process of filing these claims with the insurance companies was so onerous, they just fell way behind on the process. Typically you could resolve this by bringing in someone with a LOT of experience filing these claims I believe. This was back in the 90s, so maybe the advent of computers has improved this particular part of the game (I’m not in the industry myself), but at least back then, it was infuriating doctors too. I am not surprised in the least to hear that, like every other system in this economy, it seems to have gotten massively more complicated for approximately zero real-world improvement
