In the end, it's all about keeping the money flowing. The accounting staff is in the wrestling match with the insurance companies, but the doctors, in the end, call the shots. HA!
Seriously folks, once the doctors hear that I'm paying for the service, they may choose a similar but less costly treatment. I can't know for sure, but they really do seem to treat me like the customer instead of some type of phantom entity floating in front of them. All doctors and doctor offices are different, YMMV. I've heard of some doctors in North Georgia that are stopping taking insurance. They let the patient file the claims with their insurance companies because the doctors were getting screwed over so badly. The employer / employee / insurance company / doctor system is broken IMO. I don't file a claim to get my oil changed in my car, only if I have a major accident. Why should routine doctor visits be any different? MB Software Solutions wrote: > Wow!
