Exactly. I was talking to a person in the U KY billing department, and she said the major insurance companies are retroactively denying claims they have already approved and paid in record numbers, demanding reimbursement from the hospital, telling the hospital they have retroactively applied recission.

And it's because they have divisions that go back through medical records, months after the fact in some cases.
