This is a bit disturbing. Sad that a physician completing 12 years of education can be considered a cog in a machine and manipulated this way by people who only went to school for 4-6 years and likely underperformed academically compared to most physicians.

I believe it is against attorney code of conduct for them to allow non attorneys to own all or part of a law firm. How are our standards in medicine so much lower?

Though I know some attorneys own urgent cares and have their office right next door.

Cog in a machine? More like a light bulb that burns out and then is changed.

Uh, did anyone else see how the article directly references and links to an SDN forum thread?

Anesthesiologists train CRNAs in cardiac anesthesia, peripheral nerve blocks, and there are CRNA pain fellowships. Plenty of private practices are selling out to PE. This is wholly unsurprising.

that’s because in other professions being a “sell-out” is a derogatory description. In medicine it’s a goal.

So it’s easy to take advantage of the physician and control, just need to dangle enough $$ in front of our faces.

I’m not sure you read this article or just assuming this the same as PE buying up pain practices?

This is happening in pain too.

Disposable vs recyclable.

This is disturbing on so many levels.

Laws limiting surprise billing affect even those in network. NC passed a law years ago supported by physicians that was a patient protection act. If someone was treated as OON the insurance company, not the patient, was responsible for the difference. This led physicians having leverage over insurance companies in contract negotiations. At the time, my commercial contracts paid 30% more than I received in a neighboring state. This is what a great state anesthesiology society can achieve.
