Insurance companies deny wheelchairs, cancer treatments, and surgeries to patients who paid for coverage. Doctors frustrated with insurers should know patients are far angrier. This anger is driving demand for cash-based medical practices that bypass insurance altogether.
Chapters
Horror stories have been coming out about wheelchairs being denied, about cancer treatments being denied, about surgeries being denied, about the pain and suffering that the patients go through just to get their health insurance to do what it's supposed to do, and that is cover stuff. And there's been a ton of things that have been posted online. Why does this matter to you as a doctor, and specifically one that is looking to open or start or launch or grow their cash-based service? I have said for years that the doctors, yeah, we understand that you're incredibly pissed off about what you have to deal with with insurance, but the patients are 10 times as pissed off. And I know this because I'm a patient.
