As I wrote a few days ago, Elevance, the big for-profit health insurer previously known as Anthem, reported making $5.5 billion in profits in just the first six months of this year, a 14.4% jump from the $4.8 billion in profits it made during the same period of 2022.
Caresource of Ohio (Medicaid) did the exact same thing to our laboratory with impunity. They systematically denied hemoglobin A1C and lipid panel testing FOR ANY FREQUENCY, even new patients not previously seen, for diabetic and prediabetic patients. I reported this to Ohio Department of Medicaid and they sat on it for some reason. They didn't disagree with our assessment, just appeared to be helpless.
