I’m often asked why I don’t take insurance. The truth is that I used to be on all the insurance company provider lists.
Over the last 25 years I’ve encountered SO MANY patients who, like me, grew tired of having to jump through hoops to get the answers they’re looking for, and simply got FED-UP with the entire system.
In this short video, I explain WHY I FIRED THE INSURANCE COMPANIES! and how that’s better for You.
Many times, the blame falls on the doctors. However, there are 3 common misconceptions here:
- Your doctor is actually “Your” doctor.
- In reality “Your” doctor doesn’t work for you but is, in a sense, an employee of the insurance company.
- Your doctor is just raking in the cash.
- Despite the fact that your insurance premiums continue to rise (Health insurance premiums increased more than wages 2019), reimbursements from the insurance companies to the doctors continue to be cut (Solo Physicians Practices Melting Away as Costs Rise and Reimbursements Drop).
- The only ones raking in the cash in this broken system of ours are the insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry (Top health insurers’ revenues soared to almost $1 trillion in 2019 & Big Pharma Companies Earn Almost x2 More Profits Than Most Other Industries)
- Your doctor is making all decisions with your best interest in mind.
- It’s actually the insurance companies that dictate the reimbursable length of time spent with each patient, which tests are allowable and reimbursable, and what treatments are allowable and reimbursable for a given set of symptoms or conditions.
Dr. Dan Murphy, a mentor of mine for many years once said “Your boss is the one who is signing your weekly paycheck and if you don’t’ follow their rules you lose your job.” The point really resonated with me.
That’s when I decided to fire the insurance companies. I decided to work for you instead.
I became a chiropractor to help you regain and maintain their health naturally, to help you understand how the body can and should be working when there’s no interference, to empower you to make highly informed choices that support normal healthy function so you can get back to the life you ought to be living.
