Bert, Good luck on coming to some peace about closing to new patients. Sounds like you really have your hands full with your full time job and your doctoring, LOL. I will be waiting to hear about everyone's experiences. It's so neat that folks are so willing to share.

FQHCs receive a flat reimbursement of $115 per patient. The max allowable for a 99213 from MoHealth Net is $32 and EPSDT garners a whopping $20.

Doc Martin-loved your approach to dealing with idiocy of the bureacracy. Sounds like one of those moments that we all wish we had the courage to step up and do what you did.
