Today, Marie had an appointment at the Neurologist's in Fayetteville. She sees him for migraines. During the visit, we had to talk about getting a "letter of medical necessity" for one of her drugs so it would be covered by the insurance.
We spent more time talking about insurance than we did about Marie's medical condition. This wasn't because he neglected her, it was because the insurance took more time.
I know that these procedures were put in place because some doc's abused the system. But now the system abuses the doc's and the patients. If it were not profitable it would not be so. But where ever there are people there will be abuse, we call it sin (go ahead, google it, I'll wait).
Any posting where "business" and "health" are both appropriate tags is a pox on all of our houses.
