Quality of care -- I assume you're not implying that all the BS metrics that get imposed on BC physicians by insurance companies for max reimbursement are in any way connected with true quality of care? yes, I know the guidelines and all that garbage but lately I'm becoming more jaded re: you get more reimbursement for making sure your MA documents that your diabetics have had an A1c in the last 3 months, a foot exam in the last 6, retinal exam in the last year, PVAX/Flu, etc. --- Do those things keep my patients healthy -- probably -- but spending the time to document something so that the bean counters can check the box and pat me on the head and give me another "cookie" drives me nuts -- who the hell are they to determine whether or not I'm taking good care of my patients ---
