While visiting a doctor who has taken the Hippocratic Oath we must realize that too many have taken a financial oath as well to do no harm to their wallet. Therefore we should watch these characteristics during such a visit.
(1) RESCHEDULING- Does the doctor want to see you again and again even before the bandaid has been applied?
(2) REFERALS- Is the doctor passing you on to a friend for a simple procedure he can do himself and in return receiving a better investment from a friend later on?
(3) SPEED- Have you felt as if you were a Ford at an assembly line with limited access to real information just to get you on the road? The more come in the more $$’s come in as well.
(4) OFFICE SPECIALS- Does the doctor need to apply the bandaids at the office which you could do at home just to insure that service is included in the bill?
FOOTNOTE- Most doctors still do care more about their patient then there wallet but if it’s emptying out there are so many ways to pad it up.
