Any bets on how many pages this thread ends up with ? I'm betting at least 50.

If I can go to a 8 by 10 office in a strip mall, and meet an LPN to draw my blood and ship it to a lab for my blood lab, I think there's other options available. I have to call shenanigans on this doctor.

Last couple of days? He and his wife just experienced this yesterday. I'll get him to check in.....he is is member.

Possibly, however... There may have been benefit changes that will not allow for charges for a "draw only" visit. If the doc cannot be reimbursed for the time involved in drawing, processing and packaging the specimen, he's crazy not to send it out.

Is it different if the doc then employs a LPN or phlebotomist in their office to draw the sample, rather than the doc himself?

Late summer of this year. Probably 8-12 weeks ago.

If his article was not true, you can be sure that Romney would own Rolling Stone by now. Unless Romen Noodles pays his lawyers to let people lie about him?

Yeah.... Good point. I've *never* seen a partisan journalist write a story with skewed facts, innuendo, or partial truths. Thanks for getting my head straight!

Nope. I don't rely on government healthcare

The folks he mentioned may.

Biteme came across as an arrogant, rude, bent, and ignorant demagogue. Thats as bad as being fat, drunk, and stupid.

Ryan came across as a humble, courteous, principled and sagacious pragmatist. That's as good as being trim, sober, and smart.

I look forward to Romney's victory this November and Ryan's campaign for the presidency in 2020.

Pages are irrelevant counts considering the number of posts displayed per page is set by the user.

In this situation it is irrelevant whether doc draws or employee. The patient is utilizing staff, equipment, etc. if not able to get reimbursed, doc loses money. I can tell you that my overhead keeps going up (meds, strep tests, suture kits), but reimbursement going down. It will not get better anytime soon.

Doesn't matter who wins... We still lose
