Algorithms. There is absolutely nothing HUMAN about them. They deconstruct healthcare to a commodity.
Advanced Primary Care’s VALUE is HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. 3rd party payers will never reimburse doctors for the resources necessary to deliver on preserving this Patient-Doctor relationship.
There is simply no way to “measure” this value because it can only be “valued” subjectively by each individual patient.
If you are an individual who wants to PARTICIPATE in your health and COLLABORATE with a physician when you are sick, then good luck finding a doctor through your anonymous “insurance plan”.
If you are a physician who wants to deliver real CARE to your patients, then what are you thinking signing contracts with insurance companies who base payments on biased algorithms? “Reimbursements” that don’t cover overhead in addition to onerous, valueless administrative requirements to collect on these pathetically anemic payments.
