Dr. Vince Leone describes a physician who left HMO contracts after 30 years to start a cash-based practice, keeping minimal insurance billing. The doctor added decompression, shockwave, and laser therapy services and says the switch revitalized their career.
He was very concerned about getting out of HMOs and going into cash services, but he took the leap and it was not something that he did lightly. You know, it was a, you know, took a lot of time, effort, and energy to make the decision. But the point being is now he's completely out of HMOs and still does some insurance again, but now a lot of cash services, decompression, shockwave, laser therapy, and he is rejuvenated in practice. I mean, he, after 30 years, he's like, I'm having more fun than I've ever had in practice, and that is such a cool thing to see.
