Whether you're a current (or future) business owner or a clinician in an insurance-based world, it's important to realize how much insurance companies control.
Those of us in the cash-based world talk a lot about how insurance dictates care. But what do we really mean by that?
In this 'sode we go through how insurance companies shape the landscape of pelvic rehab.
They shape the finances of rehab business. They limit how much businesses can be paid. They put a cap on how much employees can make. And they incentivize practices to have aides, students or modalities reduce costs.
They shape how long we can see patients for by limiting the number of reimbursed visits. Insurance also limits the length of the session (maxing at an hour). And it dictates who we can see - no wellness, no healthy birth prep or anyone who doesn't have an impairment or issue.
Finally, they dictate how we document, which EMR we have to use and the hours and hours of extra paperwork each clinician needs to complete.
This isn't to say that working in an insurance-based practice is bad - it's absolutely necessary and important. But we should realize what hoops we're jumping through just because an insurance company says so!
