That’s not entirely true. Fact is, the providers time is already paid for irrespective of who they see. A good amount of health services is a sunk cost simply by having people available and the space available - it’s already paid for. If they can show that they are seeing people with no chance of reimbursement over seeing people who do…well then they can start adding up the numbers. Reimbursements are also a fraction of what is billed. Hell, in our system, if the bill isn’t paid or even addressed in 12 months, we just write it off - the doctor, nurse, bed, whatever else were already there anyway so who cares.
