It is facinating to me how rates vary across the country.

In some areas, less than medicare (RBRVS) seems to be common and in others 120-140% is the floor.

I doubt it is simply supply and demand, although I am sure that plays a role. Cost of living also plays a role.

Of course, medicare rates vary by the area of the country, but they are not radically different in the various regions (I believe.)

The patient's expectation is that you have all the answers, sometimes they just don't like the answer you have for them
