Guest guest Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 AMEN to that Jean! Another rant here: I am at basketball practice tonight and start talking to another mom I did not know. Ends up she is a certified coder for one of the 3 large multispecialty groups that is taking over the Poughkeepsie, NY area near me. I expressed to her that I have had such a difficult time getting back any consult notes from specialists in her group. She actually had the audacity to say she thinks that is because they really rather the patients stay " in house " and they don't expect that they would have primaries outside of their nice new building with nice new CT/MRI scans, labs, etc! She then tells me how successful their administrator is at negotiating contracts, etc since they have so many doctors under their umbrella while I am getting $49 for a 99213 from one of the insurance companies. Things have to change soon! Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
