Did you read the entire post? She's refusing to give her patients coded receipts (receipts with medical billing codes). Without these coded receipts, they won't get reimbursed by their insurance companies.
This doesn't put her patients ahead of this crapola. She's putting her political (and presumably economic) beliefs ahead of her patients. That's her right, of course.
Of course. Not many doctors pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to go to medical school, spend thousands more for board exams and insurance, endure through thousands of hours studying and working in a residency and a fellowship just to satisfy a need to serve their patients for free.
Yes, I read it and she is putting her patients first.
If you want a coded receipt, there are all kinds of doctors that will be participating. Since she has decided to NOT accept any insurance, she is not giving the receipts. She is in the minority. Those, like me, who value their privacy will have a difficult time finding a doctor such as her. Those who have no problem with the government having free access to their medical records so government panels can ration out whatever healthcare they think you deserve will be able to go most doctors and get the coded receipts.
I think people will get the idea real soon that even health insurance may be a sham. We have a medical savings account with a $10,000 deductible. Our family (2adults and 4 children (9-19 yo) are covered for ONLY for catastrophic illnesses. When my husband did this at least 10 years ago I thought he was nuts but we have saved SO much money. We pay everything our of pocket including pharmaceuticals.
She’s precisely the doctor whom I would see if I could afford a doctor at all.
I can’t, & would probably be among the first adults to qualify for the gov’t run monstrosity, but I intend to avoid the government’s involvement in my health care for as long as possible. If i miss out on necessary medication that I’m running out of, oh well.
Notice that she intends to stay in business for the patients who stick with her, and of course she remains vulnerable to malpractice lawsuits.
Looks like KittyKat7 has been playing with too much catnip. If the doctor is not required to provide treatment codes, then they don’t have to provide them since they won’t be getting anything from the insurance companies.
OBAMA owns the insurance companies, GM, the Banks, and other little things in life. You are so screwed you don’t even know it.
This is a conservative forum. This physician has every right to practice her profession in the manner she see fit.
