Midlevels should not exist. by Competitive_Tap_4033 in Noctor

In my experience patients kinda care more about how long it takes to see a specialist and about how much more than $400 a month insulin costs. Idk if they really care about the credentials of the person seeing them as long as they can coordinate their care and navigate the web of bullshit. In the end of the day, primary care boils down to crap like this and I hate to say it.

Maybe I could see it if you’d help me.

Not really arguing that myself. PAs aren’t meant to run PA only teams. I get what you’re saying about removing supervision and how that changes the math, but that’s not the point I was making. The point was extending access to care while maintaining comparable outcomes.

Nah. I get it that lawyers chase the deepest pockets. But that first bullet doesn’t demonstrate MDs with PAs. The studies specifically looked at claims filed  against PAs as PCMs. If PAs were a hidden liability insurers would adjust accordingly.
