And it is not uncommon at all for us to have to call, it's called a peer review process, to ask another person on a phone who works for the insurance company, they're employed by the insurance, if it's okay for us to do what in our professional judgment is best for the patient.
That's the world we're living in.
So
The idea, and I don't want to get too far down this rabbit hole, but the idea that the physicians have it out for the patient, I mean, that's insane to me.
Right.
Because I'm losing hours of sleep with a genuine intent to try to help my fellow man.
Oh, it's even better, by the way.
I'll give you the whole scoop if you want.
Well, it's not about me.
I'm not getting paid, but bear in mind who else isn't getting paid, the way bigger fish than me.
You see, there's a breakdown of how, let's do this real quick.
hopefully we have time but there's a breakdown of about how compensation happens and i'll speak from a surgeon's perspective okay yeah go ahead primary care or in office is different but okay we deal in what are called procedural codes okay every surgery we do is defined by some numbers on a piece of paper so the insurance companies are the ones that have to approve or if you've ever had surgery they'll call it a prior authorization
The beauty of a prior authorization, the fine print is literally, this is what the fine print says, prior authorization is not a guarantee of payment.
Think about that.
Think if your profession operated in that capacity.
So I can do a surgery.
This is true.
It's been pre-approved by the insurance.
They said, yeah, we'll pay for it, but actually we're not gonna pay for it.
So they'll come back and say, well, there wasn't a psych eval done, and so therefore we're not paying you.
