Allow Doctors to Provide Care Without Making Patients Fight the Insurance System
Patients shouldn’t have to become their own case managers just to access a hip replacement, transplant, or any other life-changing procedure; the moment they’re pushed into a paperwork fight, the system has already shifted its burden onto the sick. In a functional healthcare model, clinicians and their teams handle the insurer negotiations behind the scenes, so the exam room stays focused on medical judgment and timely treatment rather than administrative gatekeeping. Let doctors lead care and let insurers support it—because the more energy providers spend arguing for approvals, the less of it reaches the people who came in simply needing care.
