Brick and mortar. We're out of network insurance. We actually did dying, which we'll get to. Sure. We do 4.2 in revenue. Okay.
We've just heard it's a grind, you know, it's commoditized. It is commoditized. Race to the bottom, yeah.
because reimbursements from payers are declining each year, whereas inflation costs are going up, and because the amount of people who have out-of-network benefits is dwindling as well. It's mostly just corporate, and that's even declining. Yeah, they're just getting smarter, and they want to push everyone in-network, so we're getting squeezed.

prior auths, all this crazy shit.
Yeah. Yeah. I think we've decided as a team, collectively, we just don't want to be a network. Sure. Because of the lifestyle. No. I guess so.

Should we do any of the more on the things that are still working within out of network? Like, it's really just that, you know, we have limited resources. How much should we spend on each? Let's be like a new profit. We're basically at zero. Oh, yeah. It's part of the problem. We waited. Yeah.
No, but we can remove the lowest reimbursement. We're reimbursing patients, which is like remove Medicare. Then we can lower our cost structure. We can go that route.

We have a bunch of avatars right now, which is potentially a problem.
We've tried a bunch of that. And the issue there is that they want to send in network, or if you're injury attorneys, to workers' comp cases, which don't pay very well.

Mostly insurance.
Yeah. Yeah. 4.2 want to get to 20. Okay. Got it. We have three offices and don't know exactly how to transition out of the dying business model. Obviously our industry is growing.
Got it.
