Call to action to protect #Medicare!! Direct Contracting Entities #DCE model from @CMSinnovates unwittingly enrolls patients with traditional Medicare into an entity to manage their care and allow DCE to keep what they don’t pay for in health services. No ptnt freedom of choice!
/2 No patient choice!! Entity scans the big data of claims for a patient and then selects the patient!! Privacy invasion. Patient not even notified of enrollment!! #DCEscam
/3 Traditional #Medicare chosen by many so they have freedom to choose where they receive healthcare. #DCEscam chooses its patients and patients are not even notified they are enrolled in an entity. #ProtectOurCare
/4 DCE receives taxpayer $$ as payment to provide care. If $$ aren't used on patient care, DCE gets to keep $$. Incentive is to deny care for patients. This is a real death panel!! No care given -> more $$ to DCE. #DCEscam
/5 the DCE model is not the same as Direct Care model where a patient pays a physician directly for their care. The DCE model gets paid a monthly rate to provide care for the patient (like an HMO) and keeps what they don't spend. #ScrubsNotSuits
