"I can now be their fierce advocate like I always wanted to be."
"My hands are not tied by my employer or insurance companies anymore."
"I want the world to know that physicians take an oath to help save patients lives. The middlemen do not take this oath. CEO's of insurance companies do not take this oath. Office managers and call centers do not take this oath. If I have to save patients lives, I have to do it myself – with my own model and with zero interference from non-physicians.
Instead of talking to middlemen, I serve as a quarterback for my patients and my patients feel like they have a doctor in the family. Insurance companies do not get a chance to deny any of my professional medical recommendations because I do not ask them for permission to help my patients."
