Insurer does not care for the boutique or concierge approach to medicine being practiced by physicians...going along with Medicare practices...BD
UnitedHealthcare is dropping some physicians with retainer practices from its network, saying the annual fee they charge to patients pays for services included under United's standard physician contract.
The fee covers customized care such as a comprehensive physical, 24-hour access, house calls, and extended appointments -- services that physicians in retainer practices say traditional practices typically would not provide. Retainer practices often limit patient loads to 500 or fewer.
