Where will the patients go? Sad to see as we need more of these types of facilities. BD
Over the past three years, some 3,000 people have come to the Diabetes and Endocrine Center at Brittonfield for their treatment.
Low reimbursements from health insurance companies are blamed for putting the practice out of business.
A letter to patients says the center will be closing on October 31st. What now for all those patients? Letourneau says, “We've called some insurance companies and said, ‘hey, we can't keep this thing going, what do you want us to do, kind of tongue in cheek, where do you want us to send a patient who needs to be sent out’, and they don't have an answer for us.”
The bad news is posted at the door, and sent directly in this letter to patients. It says "The current state of the healthcare system has made it impossible for us to make the center work from a business standpoint." "The diabetes and endocrine center will be closing on October 31st.”
So come October, they'll have to remove the diabetes and endocrine specialty from the CNY Family Care family of services. They say this specialty is no longer making enough money to keep it in business.
