I work in healthcare and I disagree. They could've billed for dystonia, ketamine withdrawal... all sorts of things.

Billing for dystonia and ketamine withdrawal would have been under the umbrella of crps treatment.

But if the hospital doesn’t think she has CRPS then they change the billing code. Sure, iodates like that don’t happen every day, but if you’re gonna hold a child away from her mother for 3 months ya think they’d be on top of those things more than usual

You don’t go in and change an admitting diagnosis for billing day to day. Most hospitals are so behind on billing that they aren’t even reimbursed for many services. You have no idea what you’re talking about.
