Reimbursement structure in America is set by insurance companies and the sole focus of the fee schedule is to incentivize doctors to do things that will increase insurance company profits. Premiums go up. Payments go down. Did you know that only 8% of money spent on healthcare actually comes to doctors? Remember, that’s before overhead, paying staff, buying equipment, paying for malpractice insurance, paying the rent, etc. so in reality your doctor is maybe getting 3% of all healthcare dollars spent. But hey, cut our reimbursements more. We are an easy target.
