ROFL - Oh, you were serious. Maybe it is different in PA than MI, but most doctors I have visited are interested in treating the patient, not healing them. In priority order billable visits and tests, what drugs the can push based on bribes from the drug companies, and then maybe addressing the illness. There are naturally exceptions. And don't even get me started on their billing structures. We paid $5000 a day when my daughter was hospitalized last summer. All I saw was the invoice without any detail. Seriously. My clients would throw a fit if I provide them an invoice for good money without explanation. Explanation of benefit forms are one of the most confusing and useless forms I have read. For independents like me, who get the least coverage for the money it only brings more stress to an already stressful lifestyle.
