[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the differences in incomes between specialists is too great so in the respect of agree your ortho makes you much but ffs, op-use your head!

How do you think the lights in building stay on, the tech gets paid, the receptionist greets you and checks you in, your insurance gets billed etc etc. you can’t think he’s getting anywhere close to your dubious “hourly rate.” [/quote]

Agreed.  Honestly, though, the whole practice is probably owned by the hospital which is owned by some venture capital firm.  Your doctor probably just gets a salary the same way the x-ray tech and the receptionist do.

+1. What the doctor bills is not what the doctor makes.

Also, the amount on your bill and EOB bears no relation to the cost of services. Those numbers are negotiated as a package with the insurer and together they decide that procedure x will be billed as $500 regardless of what they know it costs in time and resources. If you ask a hospital for the self-insured rate it will be different.
