Yesterday, I shared that a large surgical group has decided to stop billing and stop paying for preoperative visits. Here’s the problem: if these visits aren’t reimbursed, they eventually disappear. Most doctors can’t afford to offer them for free. And when these visits go away, patients lose critical time...

Cataract surgery patients need to know their options. They need to understand the pre-op, intra-op and post-op expectations. Their questions need to be answered. And... God makes each eye uniquely and special. Patients -- ask questions please. We'll try to answer them.

After changing breast surgeons (due to lack of information provided or options offered) I would've paid my new surgeon the cost of a "specialist". My new surgeon called it a "consultation". She educated me on my condition, test results, options, & expected outcome. Priceless. ✅

I’ll tell you. I pay out of pocket $125 to see a holistic doctor because I don’t trust my doctor covered by insurance. All they do is take my money and farm me out to a specialist. The kicker is I HAVE to see my primary for any referral. Insurance is a scam

As a cataract surgeon the pre op visit is vital. I can spend close to 30 minutes discussing surgical options and making sure the patient understands what to expect post operatively. This a complex conversation and needs to be compensated appropriately

Not a Dr here but several drs in the family - physicians should definitely be paid for their time and the patient should decide if they need the visit. But the insurance cannot be making that decision for all patients. A patient may decide against the treatment after this visit.

Considering that many people are paying upwards of $10,000 out of pocket before insurance kicks in at $80%? They are already paying quite a fee. That’s a problem. That makes the preop visit a pricey $1000. Is that visit worth $1,000 cause that IS their out of pocket expense in the moment.

Completely wrong question. If you are in healthcare with the mindset of maximizing the monetization of your time, then please exit the field. Your mindset is that of an extortionist - “Pay me X or I let you die.” Fair wages do not equal maximum wages.

Reimburse? When you purchase something, who do you “reimburse”? Do you reimburse the gas station? Do you reimburse the grocery store? Do you reimburse the theatre? Healthcare is paid for by patients. Treat them like the valued customer that they are. There is no “reimbursement” of anything.

If said pre-op visit results in a decision for surgery, it should become part of the surgical "package" typically reimbursed via CPT codes. If the visit results in a decision against surgery, it should be reimbursed as a "regular" office visit, i.e., like a consult.

I would comment that it’s not my time, it’s the time. I have a clinic staff, overhead, malpractice, etc. the total cost per hour just to keep my doors open is about $375 per hour.

Board Certified OBGYN exposes what they must go through just to get one prescription approved by health insurance companies “This is what doctors are dealing with in 2025. So my patient needs a medication, an indicated medication for her condition. So I send the prescription to the commercial pharmacy - The pharmacist tells me that this medication needs a prior authorization and sends me a fax with a 1-800 number - The 1-800 number leads me to a pharmacy benefit manager that wants to ask my npi, my date of birth, the patient's information, what kind of the prescription is, how long do they need it for. Only to tell me at the end of the phone call that I actually have to call the patient's insurance company to authorize the prior authorization for the needed medication - So I call the patient's insurance company and once again, I have to verify my information, the patient's information, the prescription information, what the patient needs it for, only for the insurance company to tell me that this is not how they do prior authorization - So they're going to have to fax me some forms that I'm not allowed to do a prior authorization on the phone - So then the fax comes through and I fill it all out. The patient's information, my information, my npi, what the prescription is, how long they need it for, clinical documentation. And now we sit and wait and see if the powers that be think that the patient actually needs the medication” “I went to school. I went to undergraduate medical school, 4 years of OBGYN residency, then went back and did an integrative medicine fellowship, all for these people to dictate how my patient gets cared for. Please know that your healthcare providers are fighting for you day in and day out on things we don't get reimbursed for.” US Healthcare Insurance executives need to be thrown in prison for what they’ve done to our healthcare system

I hear so often from the Dommes I work with that they struggle with people online fetichizing them and simply seeing them for how sexy and beautiful they are. They project their fantasies and their desires onto you. That stops immediately once you move the attention from you to them. From 'look at me' to 'I see you'. What does that look like? When you create content, think of them and what this scene or that narrative is evoking. What will they learn from you? What they want is not to passively watch how sexy you are, but for you to train them, to give them instructions, to teach them, to guide them, to be in charge, to command them. This is not being an object but the main subject. The Authority figure. How is your content already doing that. The sexy photos can still be there, they are important to already capture des attention. But what you do with that attention once you have it, is where the power dynamic is established. Positioning yourself as more than a stunning Goddess, but actually a woman who has a voice, opinions, perspective, a philosophy, a way to doing things, teaching them what you like, how you like it, why you like it, already makes them want to be that for you. You hold the attention, you hold the power, so you direct it. And for that, you want them to know you get them and you know what lives within them... that creates the desire for you to be the one exposing it. You instantly build trust. Not because you demanded it, but because you earned it: you showed them you know what you are doing. You have experience, you understand them. They are not told to come see you, they are seduced into it. They desire it. And they will work for it. This will attract better clients (real subs) and instead of you trying to get their attention, they will work to earn yours. If you want to learn more about power dynamics, building a brand as a Pro or the psychology behind BDSM, you can now access all my trainings and classes in one place for a fraction of the cost of The Dominatrix Academy. And you can reinvest the total amount towards the Program. Message me [SECRET] for the details. This offer is not available on my website.
