(UHC dropped him, he did not drop UHC, that much seems clear. In fact, he wants to come back to UHC.)
In not publicly disclosing why he was dropped, he has caused unnecessary speculation. Some are whispering about the quality of work of his younger and newer doctors and others about the need for surgery that could be addressed in a simplier fashion. This is unnecessary and possibly damaging speculation.
BTW just because a doctor accepts a lower amount from UHC does not mean his or her work is inferior. It could very well mean that the Practice considers payments from UHC as being satisfactory to cover his costs.

I agree with you about the speculation and I’m sorry to see his practice suffer. But are you sure Dr. Casper hasn’t disclosed the reason by virtue of his offering to give a copy of UHCs letter upon request? Has anyone on this forum seen it?
Surely the reason for dropping him is in that letter. I still think it would have been cleaner and perhaps stifle rumors had it been posted on his site with the other document.
In his defense, I believe this is all very new. He probably never experienced a crisis like this and didn’t know how best to handle it.
