So the notion of picking and choosing patients based on their insurance coverage might be met with a little resistance, or frustration or maybe even righteous indignation! Bear with me. I’m guessing you went into medicine to care for ALL patients, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or any other differentiating factor. Thank you. 

It is important to understand that while all patients are created equally, not all insurance payers are created equally. Some pay above your cost, and some pay below it. In Episode 9 of Medical Money Matters, we talked about your cost structure per RVU and in today's episode, we’ll drill down on that a bit more, so that you can understand clearly how you are being reimbursed and what it means to your practice overall, especially if you are in private practice.
