I'm hoping to get some opinions on this...
I took a position with a group practice 6 months ago. I have been building a panel on the slower side and talked to my medical director about this, however the admin told me that once I got on UBH I would be fine and ramp up. Little did I know that they pay terrible.
In my area UBH pays low 60s for a 99214. This is about half the rate of other major insurers.
Is it unprofessional to say that I refuse to see these patients? Considering I went to my medical director to discuss the slow intake of new referrals? 3 other physicians are full and typically take these patients....
But I also don't want to build a crap panel. Every practice in a 25 mile radius refuses to see this carrier.
