antibubble Eric Schoen, MD You have demonstrated that you do not understand how this works, so I will demonstrate this for you and anyone who wants to read this: When CMS creates the fee schedule, there are 3 components to each code: -wRVU -peRVU -mpRVU Additionally, each code has a facility payment

We are approaching a point where nearly 90% of physicians will be employed, and those that continue to manage their own practices won’t be able to take Medicare. Forcing Medicare patients into medical systems that focus on profits first. A true disservice to all

The problem isn’t physicians. It’s the grift behind the screen. Physicians aren’t fighting technology. They’re fighting bad techβ€”built to bill, not to heal. EHRs didn’t cut costs. Didn’t reduce clicks. Didn’t improve care. They turned visits into documentation sprints. Epic

Want to know the price of a total knee surgery? Tough luck, unless you’re willing to dig through PDFs and call 5 billing departments. Why? Because opaque pricing is profitable. Transparency threatens the middlemen. It empowers patients. It scares the hell out of health

A Reminder for Patients: The reason you can’t get an appointment… The reason you don’t have the same physician year after year… The reason healthcare feels colder, more chaotic, and less personal… The reason you have less and less choice in your care… It’s not because your

Let’s be real. I spoke out against a big insurance company and now I’m being punished for it. But I’m not giving up. It’s not in my blood. I heard you asking, and if you would like to help, I’ve started a gofundme (linked below) where you can read the details and consider

Don’t scapegoat doctors. They don’t deserve it. They sacrificed their entire lives to help people. While others were partying in college, they were memorizing the Krebs Cycle. While others were traveling in their 20’s, they were doing gross anatomy, staying up until 2am to
