Tis better to just stop accepting insurance that pays you 13 cents on the dollar than it is to not make a patient your priority. If you can't give your patient your all, you should not be seeing them at all. Thanks to a reader for finding this story about an inconvenient patient.
MediCal cancelled me three times over the next year or so, and then denied me approval for an MRI, which my Doctor told me I needed before seeing a neurologist. Expecting the Doctor to call me when it was cancelled, I didn't find out for two months. When I asked what took so long to tell me, I was told (in front of my wife and kids) "You're a MediCal patient. I make thirteen cents on the dollar to see you. You just aren't one of my priorities".
2 Outbursts:
I read the story and I am saddened and ashamed to be part of a profession where anyone is treated like this man.
don't worry soon no one will take medi-cal, and is that better or worse for patients?
:(
