Media interviews and exposure

Thanks. It all happened very quickly but I learned a long time ago to be prepared when an opportunity presents itself. It was a great experience. Now just biting my nails to wait for the finished products and see what comes from this.

It's nice to see that the media is asking the right people for a middle approach to fees. As a biller you see all sides and will make sure that everyone gets a fair shake. I hope the interview gets edited to suit what you MEANT to say, you know how that can go!
I've seen too many interviews in magazines where they are trying to give the patients tips on how to HOSE the doctor. There's fair and there's fair.
I'm sure we all agree that the uninsured patients should get quality care at a good price, and that the doctor should get paid for his time. We may be able to fix our healthcare system without the government's intervention! JMHO.

Thanks DMK,
That is my biggest concern. Making sure the fairness comes across. Throughout the interview I spoke of providers having families and a livelihood to support, patients well being as a focus for them and being able to keep their practice doors open to care for more patients etc. I also spoke of patients being realistic and proactive by contacting the office BEFORE their appointment to discuss the financial situation and not blind siding the office with it when they show up. I really hope it all comes across as intended. Once it airs I will definitely let you all know how it went and provide a link if the news station posts one to the segment on their website. I would love all of your feedback on it.

Hi all,
The interview aired today! I think it went well. There was only 1 or 2 things I noticed but not bad at all. The video is on my website. Check it out and tell me what you think.
