Talking with Health Plans Costs Big Bucks
Does anyone NOT think we need health care reform? A study published in Health Affairs and funded by the Commonwealth fund and the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation found that physician practices spend $31 billion annually just "interacting" with Insurance plans.As one who as been on the "interaction" side for most of my professional life, I can tell you those numbers are probably underestimates.
