This week from CodeWACK! Designed to Fail: How Insurance Denials Really Work

from Nurse Talk · host Nurse Talk

This time on CodeWACK! Today, we’re talking about insurance denials, hidden incentives… and why getting care can feel like navigating a system designed to stop you. Our guest is Bob Coleman, a retired healthcare professional who spent more than 40 years serving veterans through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs—as a clinical pharmacist, medical informaticist, and researcher. His latest ebook is called "Hostile Takeover: How Wall Street and Congress Hijacked American Healthcare and How We Can Take it Back." This is the first of a two-part series.
