It’s to reinforce in all of the great technical minds here that healthcare billing is the most complicated spaghetti code cluster flock of a system that you’ve ever imagined. It’s far worse than any piece of software you’ve ever seen. And we all just accept the bills and pay them.

The world does not move in a positive direction at the direction and discretion of “great technical minds”. They are too busy being narrowly technically brilliant that they fail to see what a sufficiently generalist and curious 15-year-old could figure out what is the root cause. Which this post demonstrates.
