naive question but
are there or have there been insurance companies owned by physicians? I am aware that many of the insurance companies have MDs in executive positions but none seem physician friendly - there are physician owned groups that sell malpractice insurance, physician owned hospitals, etc.
Perhaps the two functions are inherently at odds. I have a contract from Coventry on my desk .. been shifting it from one side of my desk to other for a week - used to do the same with blackeyed peas on my dinner plate ... was just thinking how nice it would be to enthusiastically sign an aggreement ... to partner with an insurance company with an ethos similar to AC's.
AC and other EMRs were born out of frustration with charting - docs have been frustrated with insurance for decades - why no equivalent product evolution?
