How does it work? From the physician's standpoint, it means less time and resources devoted to insurance paperwork, which in turn means more time with patients. The down side? It's likely that fewer people will get health care because they can't afford it. Still, for certain types of practices (primarily primary care) it might work. Take a look at her post and tell me what you think.
Also: Do you know of any physicians locally who aren't taking any insurance? Please let me know.
