AHA continues to debunk false claims about COVID-19 deaths and payments
For the last several months, disturbing and unproven theories have gained attention about the death count for COVID-19.
The AHA finds these erroneous and egregious charges leveled against doctors – which have been repeated during the past few weeks – dismaying, disconcerting and disturbing, writes AHA President and CEO Rick Pollack in a new AHA blog post.
“For months, we have been setting the record straight, and we continue to do so,” Pollack said. “Hospitals do not receive extra funds when patients die from COVID-19. They are not over-reporting COVID-19 cases. And, they are not making money on treating COVID-19.”
