Patients or Insurance Companies: Who Do You Really Work For?

In this 'sode, we get fired up about the state of our industry and discuss what we 1) do for patients and 2) do for insurance companies.  When we really think about it, we'll be shocked by how much of our day-to-day is dictated by insurance companies and not what is best for patients.We can't serve two masters.We start with recognizing and saying out loud that insurance companies do not have our patients best interests at heart.  They have their own bottom line to serve.  The relationship with insurance companies is almost like an abusive relationship.  They deny a claim and we feel like it's somehow our fault.  We didn't document right, or we could write a new progress note or help with an appeal. The truth?  When they deny a claim, they make more money.This is the state of our profession - now we just need to decide what to do about it.  We lay out the three options each of us have.  There's no one right answer, but we need to go into our choices with our eyes wide open.Pelvic PT EssentialsIf you're interested in learning more about the Pelvic PT Essentials online continuing education course, register or learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com/essentials.Shout Out and Get in Touch!If you're enjoying the podcast, please take a few seconds to take a screenshot and put it up in your Instagram Stories and tag Nicole (@nicolecozeandpt).  Or send us an email at [email protected] with your thoughts, questions or ideas.  We'd love to hear from you!About UsNicole and Jesse Cozean founded PelvicSanity Physical Therapy together in 2016.  It grew quickly into one of the largest cash-based physical therapy practices in the country.They believe every pelvic physical therapist should find a position they love and feel confident in treating even the most complex patients.  They started Pelvic PT Rising to provide clinical and business resources to pelvic PTs to raise the level of our profession.Get in Touch!Learn more at www.pelvicptrising.com, follow Nicole @nicolecozeandpt (www.instagram.com/nicolecozeandpt) or reach out via email ([email protected]).Check out our Clinical Courses, Business Resources and learn more about us at Pelvic PT Rising...Let's Continue to Rise!
