No More Workman's Compensation For Me
Ok. It isn't cosmetic, but I do have a reconstructive practice too. My reconstructive practice has become more and more a Medicare practice as Medicare is the last of the plans for which I am a Provider. "Provider" really should be a dirty word in plastics as overhead usually makes it a loser economically. My overhead does not become any lower just because your insurer wants to pay me poorly. I do not deny patients appointments at the office but I cannot obviously guarantee that their insurers will pay the bill. I will no longer bill Workman's Compensation. Patient who have insurance with "Out of Network" benefits usually get some coverage however.

I totally agree with your decision. The manner that they USE doctors, you spend all this money on an education to get on top in this world and the ins co brings you right down. The moneys paid out by WC or state assisted patients justifies a 10 minute visit with no paper work and in many cases with WC theres hours of paper work. I'm about to visit an independent doctor after 13 long years with WC,lets try to fit 13 years of my life into an hour visit. I have a suit case of paper work. It's a wonder any doctor accepts these fees or headaches.Their expected to be miracle workers besides
