a former mucky muck from tenet (need i say more) is developing this credit score to “improve” billing practices…
I work for tenet as a nurse and i wouldnt trust a present or former administrative official’s integrity as far as i could throw it if it was even had to be thrown.

I’m just amused that I can call Mr. Berner and ask him personally!

I’ll bet the vast majority of hospitals most concerned with Medical Credit Scoring are Not For Profits. Is “Non-Profit” an oxymoron?

Why encourage a concept that threatens to discrimate patients on the basis of their ability to pay ?
