. After a few years of running around like a mad man and gaining nothing but an ulcer and developing a serious case of burn out, I changed the way I operated.

locations. What does that have to offer an insurance...Nile, I don't know why they get these great deals. I assume it's because we are often the only ones to take these crappy dmo's and take the horrible reimbursement. Many patients can only come to us in network. No solo docs nearby are in network

, then the counselor/therapist will tell you they can't see you anymore. (Counseling and therapy are driven highly by insurance guidelines and we all know what that can do for treatments.)
