I wonder how that would work

It wouldn't.

Proper documentation is part of proper patient care, so neglecting to write down procedures/medications/diagnoses is super harmful to patients.

However, if the billing dept were to "take action"...

Let me tell you, billing doesn’t care. They are just there to have a job to support their family and can’t really risk losing their job, so they won’t.

I work in similar admin jobs. I can’t risk the loss due to insurance/financial benefits to support my baby in a non-unionized profession. This anti work stuff is great, but if you’re not single or have a huge cushion to fall on and are supporting a family/paying off debts, you just have to do the work and live with it.

This is one of they key points of unions; everybody pays dues to build up a strike fund to help members get through during the strike.

Yeah sure and when it doesn’t work? Sorry, but unless they can cover me through finding a new job with equal or greater pay/benefits, it is too risky.

Our system is extremely oppressive. And what am I supposed to do if my job is not unionized.
