Looking at the rates Medicare and medicare insurance supplements pay, I'd say that after 10 minutes doctors ARE probably losing money. Even more so when it takes them another 20 minutes to fill out all the insurance claim forms and then fight to get paid , maybe 3 months later. If you want the old fashioned hand holding, you probably have to buy into a boutique physicians practice; $20,000, or more, annually up front for all the service you can use.
Great if you can afford it.
Awhile back The Villages Hospital was listed as one of the few hospitals that is almost 100% medicare dependent. Tight reimbursements equal tight service levels. We are getting what we are paying for. ---just saying.
