Holy Smoke! How does this guy know what he is going to get paid? Smith with Blue Cross pays him $10 while Jones with Cigna pays him $11 for the same service. Then in comes Garcia with TTC who pays him $13.22 for the same service that Jones recieved. Yabolonski comes in with UHC and pays $9.53 for the same service Garcia received……………….
Then in comes Don Pedro with cash…………….and pays $3.50
Editor’s Note: If we remove the addiction (health care intermediaries such as the ones listed above) we can reduce health care costs by more than 40%. A San Antonio employer did – Bill Miller Forbes.
From The Desk Of Molly Mulebriar:
Bill, let me see if I understand this post. Ford has contracted with every PPO in the world, “discounting” his fees for service in return for patient steerage to his facility. That is the premise behind PPO’s – doctor charges less so that his name can appear in a PPO directory. So, since he has signed up with every PPO out there, practically every patient he sees he will have to discount his fees which means he will almost never get to charge his full normal fees. Seems to me to be a hell of an expensive advertising campaign, having your name in all those PPO directories. An unscrupulous doctor would inflate his normal fees, then agree to a discount down to his original normal fee giving the illusion of savings.
