What's True
It is plausible that Medicare is paying hospital fees for some COVID-19 cases in the range of the figures given by Dr. Scott Jensen, a Minnesota state senator, during a Fox News interview.
What's False
However, Medicare says it does not make standard, one-size-fits-all payments to hospitals for patients admitted with COVID-19 diagnoses and placed on ventilators. The $13,000 and $39,000 figures appear to be based on generic industry estimates for admitting and treating patients with similar conditions.
This is what I found on several fact checking. Also, the State Senator from Minn said he did not think Doctors were making any false claims and there has been examples of fraud so far, This is all of course moot when we look at the overall death rate. I would hate for us to be discussing next year a high death rate comparison. Its real easy to second guess Governors and Presidents. You never get praised for doing enough and you always get blamed if you don't do enough.
