A Saskatoon family doctor says the province’s new billing system is a disaster.
A Saskatoon family doctor says the province’s new billing system is a disaster.
"It’s been a lot of headaches, a lot of unpaid bills, a lot of unexplained clawbacks in billing, reduced payments coming in," Dr. Adam Ogieglo told CTV News.
Ogieglo said the physicians at Lakeside Medical Clinic are missing hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments.
"We haven’t been able to figure out why this is happening and why certain physicians are getting hit harder by these clawbacks than others," Ogieglo said.
Ogieglo says payment for certain medical treatments he’s performed have been flat-out rejected by the province.
"It makes us feel undervalued. It certainly adds to stress. We are a business and we have expenses that we have to pay for," Ogieglo said.
"And at the end of the day, patients suffer – that's what it boils down to."
