ritchie, if i could interject.interjec there's a problem here. why is it that if you've got enough money to go to the third appeal with the alj, if you can hold out that long, if you're not a single provider, if you're a big hospital, you can hold out -- if you go to the alj you have a 60 to 70% chance of winning. n why wouldn't everyone just go tu that appeal process, if they can afford it?th the question i have, why the discrepancy? what do you know about the alj t system that allows for such huge swings in the determination? ok. >> okay. we looked at prior to the backlog. i think it's still relevant. we looked at the aljs and at the time 56% overturn rate. this was 2010 data. for the prior level to qualifiei independent contractor there was 20% overturn rate.01ctor t the big differences we saw, cess again, i mentioned earlier the unclear medicare policies we pc think are a trigger to a lot of this. at the alj level we found they tend to interpret them less strictly than at the prior level with the quick level.evel because they're confusing and
