"Right now Medicare has determined that if you have a COVID-19 admission to the hospital, you’ll get paid $13,000. If that COVID-19 patient goes on a ventilator, you get $39,000, three times as much. "
Then FactCheck tries to twist themselves into a pretzel with a bunch of sophistry to deceive, but it really doesn't work.
“Hospitals do not receive extra funds when patients die from COVID-19,” Rick Pollack, the association’s president, said in the statement. “They are not over-reporting COVID-19 cases. And, they are not making money on treating COVID-19.”
And despite what the social media posts claim, the enhanced COVID-19 payments aren’t based on whether the patient lives or dies, experts said.”
Hospital COVID payments tied to patient treatment, not deaths

"It is true, however, that the government will pay more to hospitals for COVID-19 cases in two senses: By paying an additional 20% on top of traditional Medicare rates for COVID-19 patients during the public health emergency, and by reimbursing hospitals for treating the uninsured patients with the disease (at that enhanced Medicare rate).
Both of those provisions stem from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act.
The CARES Act created the 20% add-on to be paid for Medicare patients with COVID-19. The act further created a $100 billion fund that is being used to financially assist hospitals — a “portion” of which will be “used to reimburse healthcare providers, at Medicare rates, for COVID-related treatment of the uninsured,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."
Actual facts, not just what some guy said that advocates for hospitals' best interests that the AP ran with.
So, MEDICARE (be clear that it was just Medicare reimbursement) paid extra for the TREATMENT of COVID. Not diagnosis. Not deaths. TREATMENT. Just as I’ve always said.
Now, go ahead and make your case with credible sources that hospitals padded their numbers to fraudulently get those funds.
