So I should cut the insurance company a deal so they don't have to pay for my office space? I don't think so. I get what you are saying, but I also think we are too reasonable and nice and trying to help our patients while the insurance companies keep grinding us and our patients down. Me and my patients deserve a very nicely appointed and reasonable office space to meet in and if people say they are going to cover my services then that is part of the deal. The truth is they don't want to pay and they will never stop the race to the bottom. They are business people only, they have no souls. Well, the last part might be a bit over the top, but...
My main point is don't give them an inch. Also, the government agencies that regulate the industry work with the big insurance companies, not us, so they are really no help either.
