Have You Been 'Downcoded'?

By L.A.S.

It you have been 'downcoded' (this is a practice in which insurance companies revise a claim made by a doctor or hospital with a lower-price procedure instead of the higher-price procedure submitted by the health care provider), could you please leave a comment with how to reach you? The people at Huffington Post are trying to further investigate this practice, but they need documents, or some kind of source material, to work with.
