Giving voice to victims of Family Health Centers of San Diego
An employee of Family Health Centers of San Diego who was certified as a medical coder has made a disturbing allegation we have heard before - that FHCSD encourages "upcoding" for routine visits. Specifically, this employee, who left the organization late last year, says the pressure to upcode is most intense at the E/M (evaluation and management) level which prevents anyone from seeing the "larger picture". If true, this should be investigated immediately -- manipulation of data like this is toxic and corrupting for any organization, and it is possible it has been going on for a long time at FHCSD. This employee also described incompetent management and obvious favoritism.
Neighborhood erupts in outrage over Family Health Centers of San Diego's plans to exploit homeless in a highrise building. Apparently, FHCSD is unaware that cramming low-income residents into buildings like this was an experiment that failed in the 1960s https://t.co/SvPh15uRhy.
