When are doctors going to stand up for themselves? I know it won't happen, and it would probably hurt the office financially but imagine if 50% of the physicians dropped Aetna from their panel. Of course, that would likely be illegal if two or more practices discussed it.
Why is it that members of a giant corporate insurance company, that controls all the health payments for a whole city, can discuss how to corner the doctors and ratchet down their payments, but 3 doctors in a town cannot sit down and discuss dropping Aetna as a poor payer. How did we lose this legal battle, and is there any way back to sanity?
