I would be willing to help. We need to start lobbying as PCP's and physicians to stop this ludacrist system of insurance control over our market. Is there any other industry that has this type of reimbursement process? I will take cash any day and 20% of our practice is Uninsured. That comes with its own headaches and the right staff is needed to make sure that the cash is collected. Both Quest and Labcorp can do a special pricing to pass on the savings to the patients. The patient gets the discount if they pay at time of service, otherwise, we let the lab send them the bill. They do this once and never again, once they see the lab bill which is outrageously high, about ten times higher than they would pay us.
So definitely count me in as I am so fed up with this billing run around and doing work for which I am not paid for. I certainly have my share of nightmares with insurance companies and their so called "fee schedules".
