[quote=Anonymous]Insurance premiums aren’t some magic fairy money that pays your docs. For the most part they (insurance cos) do their best to not pay or set the rates of services so low that docs are not being paid well - and sometimes not much at all beyond the copay. The concierge model helps the docs manage their practice in a way to be available to you more readily and not get completely hosed by the insurance company. If everyone took up the nonpayment more with their insurance companies instead of complaining to the doctors offices about this, it would have more traction. We all need to take more responsibility and understanding our benefits and how they work. The reason there are surprise bills are because the insurance company has a set point for your care. It’s your responsibility as a consumer to check in on your plan. [/quote]
