A new method of medicine is emerging
Doctors shedding insurance companies purging
Enter into a contract directly with the doctor
IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY
You too can have a personal Doctor today
Approximately $2000-$10,000 will buy you
A General Practitioner
FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY.
Small print is how they hide the truth away
What does that mean ? Your private Doctor
Doctors predicated by the highest bidder.
Medical care is more of a babysitter,
Insurance make sure a doctor will not overcharge.
They Make sure doctors are not prescribing
Absorbent tests to pad their pocket
Insurance incentivize doctors not to prescribe tests.
Prognosis Cancer pray it’s benign
Expensive tests doctors hard to find
Hurry up and wait your out of time
When money is a factor life is a crime
However private concierge, doctors
Do not account for hospital coverage
and charges occurred; anesthesiologist all Specialist
You need a contract with each of these doctors
PRIOR TO SERVICE impossible in emergency
SELF-SERVING
DOCTORS
DEMAND
TOP DOLLAR
(For those who can afford it )
give the doctor a holler
A typical doctor will carry 500 to 4000 patients
There are so many holes in this philosophy
People put themselves at risk.
Doctors maintain this is better for the sick
2 urgent patients need care , who wins,
The one who pays the most
What about the other patient? Where do they go
to the father, the son in the Holy Ghost
Typically, a doctor can see four patients an hour
Fifteen minute increment per patient
Account for lunch paperwork bathroom
A typical doctor can see 24 in an eight hour day
Specialist will see less and charge 4 times more
First time, patient several grand out the door
Paying for this out-of-pocket,
The concierge doctor seems responsible sign lock it
Some people still have to retain regular insurance
And also paying for a concierge doctor.
Medicare has always been the gold standard
Now Drs refusing Medicare send patients away
Contracted Drs. can’t pick and choose who to see
some have private secondary coverage 100%paid
Doctors don’t know what insurance you have. Insurance mandates,Drs., to take all or nothing
What’s the problem? What happened? What’s going on? The heart of the issue never solved
The unspoken truth, your doctor is a business
They need to make overhead pay their bills
Medicare has adopted the attitude.
“We are bringing you thousands of patients
(For the most part), they won’t come in that often you make money regardless(.not true )
There are some high utilized patients the sick.
catastrophic. Cancer Terminal ill. The slow ****
The law of averages should make it beneficial for a doctor to have advantages as a medicare provider
That used to be true. But sadly NO Medicare’s reimbursement is low. Dr bill $300. Medicare allows $98. The doctor must w/o $202
The difference. Medicare only pays 80%.78.40
The 20% the patient pays or has second insurance
Dr. hires no experience, medical bills
A bad biller can destroy a practice within 6 months

FYI
Doctors are now turning away, Medicare patients
I currently drive an hour and a half to two hours to doctors as the closest available that will take my insurance. Concierge doctors is on the rise. I’ve had so many doctors. Tell me I don’t take any insurance. People will get sick. They will pay.
Then they asked me where do you go for medical service. I look at them earnestly and say oh no I don’t go to any doctors around here. What I’m really saying is I don’t go to self-serving money hungry doctors who milk the system.
But many people are not that savvy when it comes to doctors, they think of doctors as gods. I did Dr. credentialing I know better. When you’re looking at a doctor who’s on his fourth med legal in fraction almost ready to be kicked off of all insurance company lists and not able to have patience and we’re supposed to pretend this is a wonderful doctor for our staff. I handled the med legal cases example, a patient dies their file goes under lock and key on my desk and I have to find something else at fault, other than my doctor. The machine hadn’t been serviced faulty equipment yeah
I was a certified biller and coder. Then I started teaching at a post secondary two year degree program for medical billing. I did doctor education throughout the United States worked on emergency hotline all different areas within the medical field. I had my own medical billing service business chain, doctors and staff how to build correctly Education classroom to their office.. the lack of education in these office is astounding when somebody tells you the balance is your responsibility, call your insurance and make sure they build it correctly. 33% of errors in billing and they try to build a patient unwittingly especially older patients pay it.. They might just be asking for doctor information.
