>> You only see a PA for minor conditions...one argument that could be made is that this is just what the doctor ordered, so to speak, to control costs.

In some practices, this is what happens. In others, not.

But you keep saying PAs "save money", yet you cannot explain how this occurs given the reimbursement rates for a PA who is supervised by a physician are the same as the physician fee schedule.

Please explain this. While it is true that a nonsupervised PA is reimbursed at only 85%, you are also substantially comprising the quality of care.

You're spewing bullshit.
