  • If you end up working in the medical/insurance field in the USA, you don’t even need basic math! The numbers the programs output are just all made up!

    I had the audacity the other day to ask in what order we apply deductibles. (YOU want a deductible applied to something covered at 10%, not 100%. The insurance wants it applied to something covered at a100%) I was told it just picks some at random and hopes for the best, so we use the word “best effort” when it comes to estimating what insurance will pay, since they’ll make that up anyway.

    So yeah, just another throwing in that it super matters where you work. At my job we plug in what is industry standard for medical accounting, and say it’s just an estimate on everything else.
