Is there anyone or a group fighting insurance companies on making mastectomy an outpatient procedure
Is there anyone or a group fighting the insurance companies on making mastectomies an outpatient surgery? This is a horrible way to care for people. We need to stop the trend of medicine turning into strictly a money-making science field. They are ordained caregivers and they are forgetting it. Their job is not only to prevent death, but to make living better. Please, let me know if there is a resource or action group fighting the insurance companies on this specific issue. Thank you.
I'll repeat my previous answer, so everyone is sure to see it:
The Breast Cancer
Patient Protection Act of 2007 would allow a woman and her doctor to decide whether she needs
to remain in the hospital for at least 48 hours after either a
mastectomy, or a lumpectomy; if so, insurance would have to pay for it.
