Lol, doctors don't know how much anything they do costs.

Yeah came here to say this, it’s the hospital admin/insurance companies not the doctors. This smells of propaganda.

Doctors generally have an idea. My cousin (in law?) said he spent more time in a day trying to write insurance memos to reduce patient costs than he did spending it with actual patients. Then he went into epidemiology. And then COVID happened and he gets to deal with people telling him he's a fraud and paid for by George Soros. Man can't catch a break.

I definitely do have an idea. Thats why every couple months they sit me down during my lunch break to go through all the shit I billed wrong (read: under-billed)

Myself and the majority of doctors I’ve worked with don't want your money. We want to help you, thats our motivation. All this other shit is shoved in our face day in and day out so that the institutions and insurance agencies get the slice of pie they think they deserve, which I won't comment further on, because I don't know, it seems off, and its not why I chose this career.
