[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with OP - have had many of the same issues. Unlike PP who makes $1800/hr, I work in a specialized field making only $125/hr - and it's painful to pay $200+/hr for subpar services for my child.[/quote] I suspect you are confusing how much someone makes, vs. how much a company bills for their time. If you're making $125/hour, you're earning $260K per year. A healthcare provider who is billing $200K per hour, even if they're a sole practitioner, is paying overhead costs like space rental and insurance, and is spending at least 1.5 hours for that hour due to charting and planning. Add in the fact that they aren't paid for any leave they take, that they often have sessions cancelled, and it comes out to far less per hour than you make. The healthcare system is broken. You are a victim, and so is the provider. [/quote]
