Merry Christmas to Full Spectrum 🎄✨️🙌
Our gynecology neighbors, Ballard Women’s Health, is closing, so we picked up some new equipment from them 🙌🙌
Husband and wife team, Drs. Brandon, were so kind to us over the last year- giving advice on looking for office space, tips on where to buy equipment, running a practice, etc
We wish them all the best in their retirement 🤗
But also, sadly, another independent private practice down. They were still taking insurance, and noted how reimbursement has gone down and down over the years, while rent, nurses salaries, etc have gone up and up. To my knowledge, there is only one women's health private practice left taking insurance in town (Northwest Women’s Health, someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
Medicine is changing. And it's not great for women.
This is why out-of-network care is becoming more common...
When you cut out the middle man (insurance), patients and doctors are happier, and everyone wins
I can see a future when patients have insurance just for catastrophic care coverage, and move back to independent physician owned practices for everything else
