Exactly. I also work very closely with doctors...for over 25 years and I wish I could spend more time with patient care then sitting on a telephone precertifying every little test a patient needs. The insurance companies micro manage every move you make when they're paying out and often times I have to fight with them in order to get a simple test done. I'm talking state sponsored healthcare as well as private insurance.
