I am often asked by frustrated physicians how much money they should have to pay for legal counsel related to starting and maintaining their DPC practice. Here are some of my general thoughts:
1) Use Free Resources...
2) Never Pay for an Attorney's Education...
3) Educate Yourself and Give it a shot...
American College of Physicians (ACP) authored an inaccurate paper many months ago ... and now we have in-house opposition.
The Mapper Expands - Only three states remaining without a DPC practice! We now have 415 locations across 47 states and DC.
Family Practice Management - keep your eyes out for the next edition of FPM (the Sept/Oct 2016 volume).
Prior Authorizations - Do you want to get rid of prior auths for good?
1) Non-compete Agreements - I've read lots of physicians contracts over the years, and the majority of these agreements are not written with language narrow enough to be enforced...
2) Orders Ignored - A Blue Cross / United / Cigna / Aetna (BUCA) insurance company is refusing to follow your orders for an anti-CCP antibody or a brain MRI. Is this legal?
