As I was reading, I started thinking, “What if all insurance plans budgeted 45 minutes for a Primary Care Provider visit instead of 15?”
(To be clear, I don’t know if ‘15 minutes’ is hard-codes anywhere, I just know that most appointments I’ve gone to are budgeted that much time.)
I say this, because of the multiple mentions of doctors spending multiple hours talking with patients.
If there was more time budgeted for PCP visits, then there would be time to have these conversations, and maybe address issues (real or perceived) before bad things happen.
