Some Doctors Cost More. Why?

Its about healthcare networks. A network is a group of providers who have entered into agreements with health coverage providers to charge reduced rates to network patients in exchange for more business. Stay Smart Stay Healthy

Stay Smart Stay Healthy was created by Edward Batchelor at Humana Inc. as a new-media venture designed to deliver guidance, and to support awareness and understanding of the healthcare industry.

His goal was simple: to educate consumers on the healthcare system by removing the usual complexities and replacing them with an informative and engaging series of videos.

The USA has the ... "BEST SPECIALISTS" ... but our Health Care System stinks and is ranked as the Low 37th on a World Scale !! It's like saying "THE USA WON THE MOST GOLD MEDALS IN THE OLYMPICS ... SO THE ENTIRE AMERICAN POPULATION IS MADE OF TOP ATHLETES !!

When in reality we have an overweight & sick ...(cancer~heart diseases~diabetic)... population, compared to other nations. Don't buy into the Right-Wing propaganda.

And vets make a whole lot more than most docs. Why? Simple administration costs and arguing with insurance companies have made it nearly impossible for solo practice physicians to even turn a profit. This is why most physicians are forced to either join a group or work for a hospital system. Meanwhile the former CEO of United Health Group cashes in a 1.4 Billion dollar pension

Wow this guy is either lying or is an idiot.

1. Dr's don't agree to these ins contracts to see more patients, they agree to them to see any patients with insurance. This means that the larger ins co's can get away with paying far less than the smaller ones. The docs can't afford to lose 45% of their patients on a company the size of say Blue Cross. This is why Blue cross has the lowest reimbursement in our state, because they're the biggest.

forgot to mention that even though doctors that see lots of patients can charge less, they also spend far less time with those patients, thus reducing the quality of care.

cicatriz79: Not true unless your doctor has taken a vow of poverty and works for free charging only his room and board. Otherwise nothing in this world is free, just sometimes you dont see where the money comes from that pays for it.
