It is a fact that more than 80% of medical bills are inaccurate—most often over-charging a patient. If the billing department is that far off the mark, what assurances does a patient have that their medical records are accurate? And how can a patient feel secure that their medical records will be made up of mere digital bits stored on a hard drive? Hard drives that can crash, be corrupted or compromised.
Efficiency doesn’t erase errors or inaccuracies. And when those errors are about one’s health, it’s a penny wise while a pound foolish.
