RE: Re: Good Luck student ; )by AnonPod (no login)I graduated in 1984. So you can guess how good my training was. I practise in a saturated city, and medicare has cut off c&c in my area. When I quote $300 for a pna patients ask me to refer them to a MD who will do it under medicare. So I refer the patients to one of two MDs in my area who do the procedure. Unfortunately the 2 MDs do not refer patients to me for c&c. I suspect that they do that for their patients also. So you can have excellent clinical skills but your fees better be the same as the orthopods' fees in your area. And you have to be covered by health insurance. Many companies are decreasing their group health insurance plans. They are cutting out the "frills". Back in 1984, a friend of mine was going through to become a pyschologist. When I asked about health insurance coverage for pyschology. She said that companies are increasing coverage to include psychotherapy because they are realizing its cost effectiveness (less prescription drugs, ergo mentally sharper employees & less prescription drug abuse), better employee temperment, etc. Well that was what was happening in 1984. In 1998, she got a job in a P4W. This is the last place that I would have thought that she'd be working. She obviously needs the regular pay cheque and its probably better than what she was making in private practice. from IP address 199.212.26.244 Goto Forum Home |
