A lot of doctors hate dealing with the insurance companies as much as we do. They have to deal with medical insurance on both sides.
They all get frustrated whenever they have to not help someone they're perfectly capable of helping
Indeed, this post was inspired by a friend who spends an inordinate amount of time off the clock trying to get charts into just so shape so that claims go through. The exact way they want you to phrase stuff and what tests they need to see in the chart before approval changes regularly so practices basically have to hire a dedicated staff to keep up and let the doctors know about changes. Also results in small practices being driven out of business.
This shit is straight up EVIL.
That's why my old doctor opened up a concierge practice. You pay a yearly membership fee, a low office fee, then everything else is at cost.
They get compensated enough to forget.
