It is an uphill battle to get anyone to recognize our credentials as
professionals with clerks making decisions based on the lowest bidder.
We had a contract come in today with a fee schedule column listing the
monthly RENTAL RATES for our services.

That shows how in touch the decision makers at the MCOs really are. Even
the physicians are being treated like commodities!

And just what are your rates to rent-a-prosthesis by the month? Do you
suppose the contract writer figured that after 30 days I might grow
another leg?
