Leslie, We have an IPA here and the FTC leaves us alone because we follow the rules and stay within the limits of the law. It has been invaluable. I can't stand to hear any doctor is being paid 60% of Medicare by commercial carriers. It is highway robbery! Are you sunk without Humana? You can't discuss with other doctors what they are paying you but you can all sure as hell dump them. Unless it puts you out of business, I would send a letter to them and your patients and not tolerate that kind of treatment. $40 for a 99213? $60 for 214? Forget it. You deserve better.
