North Carolina: Autism Billings Up 47,000% In Five Years: Per The Headline

[HikerGuy83]

The news just keeps getting better and better.

Medicaid autism therapy billings reportedly jumped from $1.4M to $660M in five years, state auditor Dave Boliek told Fox News.

North Carolina's Autism Billing Jumped 47,000 Percent in Five Years. Someone Should Explain That.

North Carolina's autism Medicaid billings surged 47,000% in 5 years, raising fraud concerns and calls for audits.

This from the guy who helped Nick Shirley....you know the guy exposing fraud and being attacked by the CA legislature.

And we want to put these idiots in charge of health care????

"Those are vital services to folks and individuals that need that therapy," Boliek told Fox. "But when you have, like in North Carolina, a system that went from $1.4 million or so in total billings for autism therapy to more than $660 million a year in billings on autism therapy within a five-year range, that begs an audit from the state auditor, who in North Carolina, we are the top watchdog agency for taxpayer waste, fraud, and abuse prevention. So we've dug down into that or in the middle of that."

I support both assisted suicide and euthanasia. Why let people suffer?

Sounds like another patch of Jeets or sand groids workin the system.

As long as it isn't done on the taxpayer's dime.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Nothing to see here......move along........

BOOM!

All it would amount to is a dem money laundering scheme.

I bet that's where much of the current fraud being found is going.

The Mafia were mere pikers when compared to today's dem party.

Shouldn't it be on their health insurance plan?

I don't think so. Just part of the autism scam that has been going on for 20 years among all kinds of libs.

Autism is the ideal liberal disease. No objective tests to diagnose it and with a whole "spectrum" of "services" that contractors can be contracted to provide.

Autism can be tested. So can IQ, especially stupidity versus ignorance.

Have you ever been psychologically screened for a job? I have. Passed too. LOL

Screening for Autism Spectrum Disorder

Screening and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.

Actually, your link proves my point

• Diagnosing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be difficult because there is no medical test, such as a blood test, to diagnose the disorder. Doctors look at the child's developmental history and behavior to make a diagnosis.

Sounds pretty easy to fake.

Soooo....you don't trust doctors? You choice. In fact, I advise all people who are suspicious of doctors, vaccines, modern medicine, etc to avoid it all.

As for autism, like all psychological evaluations, the world would benefit from a "mental health moonshot" with more research in the science.

Yes, they have been expanding the diagnosis in order to evade the real problem which is the Feminist delusion that a career is more important than being a homemaker, child raiser and good wife.

Women putting career before making babies is resulting in more babies with genetic problems because their eggs become geriatric at around 35. I suspect 'transgender' is another illness caused by bad eggs. It really is the perfect Marxist tactic for killing a whole society and sucking money from them at the same time for a very curable affliction.

The only way to stop the fraud is to end the programs.

Why do you seek to keep women barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen?

Smarter, more educated people know that one reason for identifying illness is better tech at diagnoses.
Consider that a few hundred years ago doctors used leeches, bleed people to let out the bad humors and believed in phrenology. Modern tech has brought about better results.

It's sad when MAGAts prove they are not Christians despite claims "we're a Christian nation". Weird.

Fraud is stopped with oversight.

It begins with Christianity and individual rights.
