However, I'm personally familiar with one primary care group in PA that, among other things, has no offices for their docs, minimize inventory, have highly motivated nurses that really help, are open every day of the year, are aggressive with insurers etc etc. They do "OK" and yes, drive nice cars. These kind of practices are uncommon, but insurers point to them as one reason why they don't necessarily need to change their fee schedules.Jaan Sidorovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072456803925863874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181810725696409953.post-68527291951438252742009-01-05T09:05:00.000-05:002009-01-05T09:05:00.000-05:00I sure wish I was one of those primary care physic...I sure wish I was one of those primary care physicians that could 'still afford a lexus.'
