also, even if the doctor accepts it, they may never be paid at all because there isn’t any guarantee of payment even when the care was preauthorized
Patients don’t have the money and doctors better hope they become sick for they’ll be better reimbursed than if the patients stay healthy.
Somehow, the country has no problem with a health care system that pays people to use it rather than to take care of their health.
Its crazy.
My brother in law is a Dr. And has several quick care clinics. Cash only $50 per visit, no insurance , medicaid or medicare accepted. Had an obamacare queen demand he take her state card. He told her unless it came with $50 cash she needed to hit the road as he didn’t have to take the card or deal with her bitching. She left pissing and moaning every step.
