Hi so I have been hearing about physiatrists setting up outpatient MSK out of network practices, where I think they charge the patient cash up front, and fill out the claim form for the patient and let them deal with insurance companies, is this a long term viable practice model? how would you get advanced imaging, meds, referrals, etc done in an out of network practice model? any insight into pros and cons of this model would be appreciated. thanks in advance
