Can we discuss (rationally) implications for practice if insurance companies continue to acquire physician practices?
This seems like it should be illegal to me, but obviously it is not. I’m frequently begging insurances following denials so I wouldn’t know what to do if they were my boss.
Of course my hospital owns a large insurance plan so it certainly could be argued whatever conflicts exist for insurance companies to own might also exist for hospital ownership.
