They only give her the claims that their own people have been unable to collect on.

BTW, she also tells me that 90% of doctors offices have nobody there that knows what they are doing with regard to this stuff, and that even the doctors are usually clueless as to how to get paid on such claims.

Either way, doctors should not have to jump through such hoops to get paid on work they have done. A single payer system will assure that.

I can tell you that Sophia takes a nice big chunk of all the money she collects on those claims. More money for her means less for the doctors.

Actually this is all true.... but medicare also denys claims... just this week i spoke with an operating room supervisor ... she was telling me about a inpatient case where medicare denied a $55,000.00 charge because the operating/admitting physician signed his history&physical 30 hours before admission versus the required 24 hours( a new rule btw )
