The United States spends approximately 20% of its gross national product on healthcare, but it is unclear where the money goes or who is minding the store. This healthcare crisis is mostly about money--not lack of money, but rather misspending of money.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From the perspective of a healthcare auditor and provider, this work describes the problems of American healthcare finance and proposes solutions. Extensive charts and graphs are used to trace where money goes in the American healthcare system, while other topics such as ethics in healthcare billing, un-auditable hospital costs and scams are discussed. There is evidence that clearly identifies where the money goes, and its destination may surprise the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Famiglietti, Mark Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476687455\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476687452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.74h x 5.83w x 0.71d","brand":"Lisa Famiglietti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44121104056575,"sku":"9781476687452","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4d982bf2-4d2b-4ace-ae79-ace609e9483b.jpg?v=1687418065","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mismanaged-money-in-american-healthcare-lisa-famiglietti-9781476687452","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
