[quote=Anonymous]I ran a clinic a few years ago. The amount most physicians in general practice make is not going to make them rich. Their overhead is high. In addition to seeing patients they are getting calls from the pharmacy, hospitals (or home health agencies or SNFs or rehab), not to mention triage from the nurse phone or telemedicine calls and emails. Theme there is the paperwork- not just charting but a number of other regulatory requirements such as pre-authorization, remittals for denials, etc. In addition, there was a 15% No show or cancellation rate at our practice. This was not unusual. I agree with OP- someone should let patients know AND give them the opportunity to r/s, but no one is getting rich off of insurance or self pay patients these days. Also, flu is really, really hitting hard right now. Be sure to get your flu shots!! [/quote]
