01:00 Doctors entertain concepts of cash payments with patients
01:06 Dr. Jordan Johnson, DC—Morganton Chiropractic
01:30 In last week episode…
04:00 Let’s talk about diet
05:00 Food Guide Pyramid
05:30 What we define as “food” is key
05:37 Michael Pollan
06:25 What is “real food” anyway
06:46 Food, Inc., documentary-directed by Robert Kenner
07:25 Farmer’s Market First!
07:54 Plant-Based Diet
09:25 Don’t put Chiropractors in the “spine only” box
10:25 Most issues result from chronic, repetitive misalignment
12:00 Goal is to give the patient the skills to stay in alignment longer on their own
12:56 Who pays you?
13:00 David Contorno, “You work for whoever pays you”
13:25 Article, “My personal dilemma”
13:40 It’s very similar for physicians who are paid by insurance companies
14:14 Third party payment system in between the doctor-patient relationship
14:26 Doctors working at the discretion of an insurance company
14:51 If the patient is actually paying then the doctor works for them
15:05 The interaction between doctor and patient is a relationship
15:48 Patients stop receiving care once an insurance policy stops paying
16:12 The third party distorts the relationship and creates a barrier to care
17:08 Found myself out of town without medicine, just decided to go without
19:28 Third party payers lend patients to feel that care just isn’t worth the trouble
21:35 Average patient is 40 years old with low-back pain
21:45 First visit is about 1 hour long
21:57 Second visit is about 30 minutes long
25:00 Divert major surgery with better “joint care”
25:09 Or, have to treat because surgery was performed but results were not achieved
25:56 Once you have surgery, you can’t undo it
26:57 Employers could pay Chiropractors directly as a preventive measure
28:43 Health plan design should provide incentives for steerage
29:30 Don’t just give your employees a provider directory and no other direction than that
31:24 Ask the question, “do you accept cash”
