The nurse weighed me, took my blood pressure and pulse. She also asked a few standard questions. By the time the doctor pays her salary and the salary of a couple others plus other office expenses, how much do you figure he'll have left for himself out of $10. dollars?

If you are enrolled in the HMO your physician likely receives a "per patient per month" payment for each individual under his/her care. The $10 payment is probably for some additionally recognized work approved by Freedom Health. If you are in the Medicare Advantage plan I would doubt your doc will participate in Freedom Health next year.
