What is it like dealing with insurance in private practice?

[racermike1967]

Can any currently employed ENT's provide their experiences in dealing with insurance companies while working in private practice?

I would love to hear input from ENTs that have been practicing for a while.

Is it as bad as the physicians in other specialties claim it to be?
I have read in several other posts that it is so bad that some physicians are considering going back to school for a different career.

What are your thoughts/experiences?

Thank you all.

Yes, it sucks, probably as bad as you've heard. But you need to ask a bit more specifically than that to get a reasonably useful answer.

I don't have a specific insurance-related question but I just wanted to get a feel for how the medical specialties fare with the insurance companies. I know with Family practice it is a very huge pain in the rear to the point where physicians consider other careers but do the specialtists feel the same way?
