[Chirolist-CA] An open letter from Luigi DiRubba...

[Guest guest]

Don,

It has been almost a year now since I resigned from ASHN. I can't

tell you how comfortable it is working today!!! I am still a

provider with ODS after signing with them individually, and have

just been accepted with Providence again though I had to go through

the back door to do it, and I don't have to listen to the ignorant

A** holes who are our colleagues at ASHN.

My front desk is happier than clams that they don't have to deal

with the payment section of ASHN all the time because of improper

payment etc.

I would suggest to anyone who is looking for an easier life to go

ahead and make the jump from controlled access care. Yes, you will

lose a couple of patients, but face it, you aren't getting paid for

them anyway, and your schedule will open up for full paying

patients.

I wouldn't have believed there would have been so much less

paperwork and an easier time in practice until I actually did it,

even after reading letters from other docs that had done this same

thing in the past. I just thought they were bragging and blowing

hot air.

If everyone cancelled this type of contract, where would the

insurance industry go? Things would have to change or insurances

would not be able to offer chiropractic care. And come on, think of

it, we are being used as a marketing tool by these insurance

companies because we are what industry is demanding.

It is about time we drive our own train like the dental profession

did when HMO's were being formed, they stuck together for the most

part.
