< Completely avoid insurance filings >.QUOTE Doctors who use this model, which they call “direct primary care,” say they can keep their costs competitive by avoiding the bureaucracy of the health insurance system and the high processing costs — including additional staff — associated with accepting coverage. Surely this means only the super rich can afford treatment. QUOTE Villarreal’s practice, which does not accept any form of health insurance, has thrived despite its location in a city where nearly one-third of the population lives below the federal poverty line. QUOTE Some health care experts worry that if too many practitioners choose this path, the state could be left struggling to find doctors to accommodate patients with insurance at a time when federal health care reform is making such coverage mandatory for most Texans. Maybe if it weren't next to impossible to get money from an insurance company for a claim, this wouldn't be happening. Maybe if the HHS and entire health insurance industry hadn't been double fucking the country up the ass for the past few decades, they wouldn't be discouraging both doctors and patients from dealing with them. |
