"Is Your Doctor Actually Working for You? The Truth About Primary Care Today"
Ever feel like your doctor barely knows you? You wait weeks for an appointment, sit in a waiting room forever, and when you finally see your provider, it’s rushed, impersonal, and loaded with confusing insurance paperwork. Sound familiar? It doesn’t have to be this way.
At Blue Spruce Health, we believe primary care should be personal, accessible, and stress-free—no insurance headaches, no rushed visits, and no surprise bills. Just quality care when you need it.
Why Traditional Healthcare is Broken
Most primary care offices aren’t built around patient care—they're built around insurance reimbursement. That means doctors don’t get paid for simply taking care of patients; they get paid based on billing codes, which determine how much they can charge for a visit.
Here’s how it works:
🔹 Doctors are paid per visit – The more patients they see, the more money they make. That’s why appointments are often rushed to squeeze in as many as possible.
🔹 Insurance won’t pay for phone calls or emails – Ever wonder why most doctors won’t give medical advice over the phone? Because they don’t get reimbursed for it. Instead, they require you to come in for an appointment just so they can bill insurance.
🔹 Time with your doctor is dictated by billing codes – Insurance companies decide how much time a doctor can spend with you based on what they’ll pay for. That’s why visits often last 10-15 minutes max—not because doctors don’t care, but because they aren’t paid to spend more time with you.
🔹 Surprise bills are common – Insurance dictates what’s covered and what’s not. You might think your visit is fully covered, only to receive a surprise bill weeks later for labs, procedures, or extra time spent with your doctor.
At the end of the day, traditional healthcare isn’t designed to prioritize patient care—it’s designed to maximize billing.
How Blue Spruce Health is Changing the Game
