It's only bullshit to those educated enough to see the arguement in its entirety. Most of my patients used to accept that the Medicare Schedule Fee was fee that was somehow related to the service that doctors are providing. It can only be that if doctors allow it to be so. i.e. The bullshit suddenly becomes true. Do not expect your patients to understand Medicare. You have to explain again and again to them that you are a private practitioner who sets his fees based on the value of the service and considering the cost of administering it. Let Medicare's propaganda be recognised for the bullshit it is.
ummm, like i don't know that already - which is why i moved to a fully private situation almost 6 years ago, even if i can choose to charge for essentially rebate only where i recognise fair need exists
perhaps you might broadcast it to a group of people lacking such insight, because i don't think this is that audience
