How Insurance Companies Save You Money

The patient had a chronic problem that would continue to cause their health to deteriorate, eventually killing them. Perhaps in just a year or two, or maybe sooner if a nasty infectious process should take hold of them.

The doctors, nurses, and ancillary staff at The Great Muffin Factory are rather good at helping to fix problems like the one this patient has, but it requires specialty surgery. The patient's insurance company would even pay for said surgery...

But not at Muffin Central. We are not one of their preferred providers. So the plan now is to "stabilize" the patient, then ship them off to California.
