[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They should not charge extra for services that were always expected before (such as returning a phone call).

They should not tack on a new, annual administrative fee when they neither participate with any insurance, nor will they submit any forms on your behalf.[/b][/quote]

If your practice is being run by a corporation who wants to charge for your time (e.g., private equity, but not just them), then what do you do if these are the rules for your workplace -- that all time gets billed? You do it, or you get let go. Or you get severely penalized and have to leave anyway.

[quote]They can work five days a week if they want to earn an upper middle class income.[/quote]

No full time doctor doing standard patient care is working only 40 hours a week, even in the federal system, where working more is not compensated and therefore actually illegal.

None is that is unreasonable , so stop exaggerating.[/quote]

[quote](If you want/need higher reimbursement levels, work through your professional organization to lobby for system change that resumes all boats. Don’t just kick out your old patients who are living on a fixed income, which is what happens when you go concierge, because you want to work less but make more.)[/quote]
