Created 10 years ago by a private-equity firm, USAP is now one of the largest in the U.S., with more than 4,000 doctors and spanning nine states. As it gobbled up existing practices, substantial price hikes followed.

mmmm. I have an issue where an anethsia is not billing the insurance despite me even having the insurance call them directly. makes me wonder what the current scam is.
If you make people too scared to seek care because of convoluted, complex, and opaque pricing schemes and incredibly long wait lists it isn’t malpractice when they get sick and die. That way, you can raise profits, lower staffing, AND save on malpractice insurance!
The best part, only total sociopathic ghouls will be enthusiastic to work for you. Genuinely ethical people will not even apply for your jobs. So you don’t need to worry about there being any pesky angels on your shoulder giving you advice to heal people.
I think I saw a Dr. Glaucomflecken skit about this.
Yup literally 11 months ago. It was pretty hilarious. https://youtu.be/nG6ppzJwPYU he’s a doc and he’s super harsh on insurances (for exactly the right reason). He’s also hilarious. Love that guy.
