🎙️ The PTCH Podcast | Episode 7: “Informed Consent & Medicare: What You’re Not Being Told”
Are You REALLY Giving Consent? | The Truth About Informed Consent, Medicare & Patient Rights
Do you truly understand what you’re agreeing to when you sign that form at the doctor’s office? In this episode, we uncover the real story behind informed consent, patient rights, and how the healthcare system—especially Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplement plans—might not always be working in your favor.
We break down:
âś… The history behind informed consent: Nuremberg Code, Tuskegee Study, Belmont Report
âś… What your doctor should be explaining before any treatment
âś… How insurance companies and Medicare influence your care (and not always for the better)
âś… The truth about chiropractic coverage under Medicare
âś… Why clear communication = ethical care
✅ And yes… a hilarious game featuring real vs. fake ICD-10 codes
Whether you're a patient, provider, or just healthcare-curious, this episode will leave you questioning the status quo—and hopefully more empowered in your next medical encounter.
