Fewer hurdles. Lower costs. Exceptional care.
Insurance and Healthcare Policy: Why I Do Things Differently
Healthcare in the United States is complicated, but the reality is simple: insurance companies often stand in the way of good medical care. Rising deductibles, shrinking reimbursements, and endless administrative hurdles have created a system where patients wait longer, doctors burn out, and the focus shifts from care to paperwork.
At my practice, we’ve chosen a different path. By staying out-of-network (with the exception of Medicare), we remove unnecessary obstacles between you and the treatment you need. This means:
Insurance company cannot practice medicine without a license and deny you care. Insurance denials are unethical as they involve medical decision making without examining you and often the person denying your care has NEVER trained in the specialty care you are seeking; With us, your care plan is based on medical need, not an untrained “peer”, algorithm, or insurance hurdle.
Transparent costs. Our service fees are clear and upfront, so you aren’t blindsided by surprise bills.
Better use of benefits. For many procedures, insurance companies require prior authorization before they’ll approve surgery, which can mean delays and extra visits. In my practice, you can move forward with care right away. If you have out-of-network benefits, we’ll give you the paperwork you need to submit, so your payment can still count toward your deductible and may even be reimbursed directly to you by your insurer
Focus on you. Without hours of paperwork, preauthorization, peer to peer reviews, denials, and appeals, we can spend more time on what actually matters—you.
We believe healthcare should be straightforward: a patient and a physician working together toward the best outcome. Insurance companies—their CEOs and shareholders— prioritize profits over patients. Removing the for-profit insurance company lets me offer high-quality, affordable care without middlemen, keeping the doctor and patient at the center of every decision.
