A great many Dr’s offices can’t even provide a billing estimate or handle the mess of insurance. Do you think they’ll handle something like that on top of it?



I happen to have an obscure health condition, and good insurance. I have a cardiologist, a rheumatologist, a pulmonologist, and a urologist whose offices all tend to periodically call me from unknown numbers. They have a clear economic incentive to periodically poke and prod at me, and bill my insurance.

Taken to an extreme, an incompetent medical practice isn't entitled to stay in business. Not that I am in favor of making businesses more complicated to operate, but I sure would appreciate fewer spam phone calls.


That would require a critical mass of customers to accept some standard ‘good’ call and deny all ‘not good’ calls. Which with all the chaos right now, good luck without some kind of central action at least as strong as that required to kill the spammers normally.


No, I don’t. But when you order phone services for your business, they’re more than capable of acting on your behalf.
