Ok,  yes I am human and I was ready for a fight when I was sent to collection and disengaged from my OB/GYNE.  Today i spoke to their office and I guess it was a mix up. I really did send my $2.00 payment late so they have agreed to keep me as a patient. But I guess it still really bugs me that a doctor’s office is so ready to drop a patient.  When I worked for the doctor’s office you really had to do something bad or non compliance to be dropped. The doctor honestly cared about our patients and any disengaging (or dumping patients) had to be approved by him only and 9 times out of 10 he never approved that. In fact in 10 years there was only one patient that he ever disengaged from and she was totally non compliant and was basically killing herself by not taking care of her disease and other reasons. I guess this just is another example of how healthcare has changed. Healthcare was never about money when I worked at the doctor’s office, I mean yes he did charge and if you could only pay $5.00 and month, that’s what he accepted.  But now with malpractice insurance and everything else I guess they cannot have that attitude. It is a terrible shame.  People that need healthcare cannot afford it and the ones that can don’t.
