AI Highlights
  • - After 15 years, they dropped all Advantage Plans.
  • - They were poor money managers.
  • - The waiting room was usually empty and overhead seemed high.

After 15 years of good care they dropped all their Advantage Plans. I just think they were poor money managers.

In all those years I only remember one time when there were more then 2-3 patients in the waiting room. Several Drs. were listed as using that waiting room but the place was like a ghost town. They leased lots of space in a very expensive building.

There was always more staff visible then patients?

Too much overhead! Poor management !
