With many insurers that is part of the contracted service they provide a business, and they do the due diligence themselves. So those are extra efforts on the part of the Canadian taxpayer.
Now, several parliamentarians have been briefed on how your auditors imposed themselves on the businesses of some of the providers. They demanded to see the charts of the patients in the billings, and then compared the charts to the billings. That's the logical way of doing it, but insofar as these patients are concerned, they would perceive that as a significant breach of privacy.
Can any insurance company do that, or was Health Canada or its contracted auditors doing this with special powers, being the federal government?
