i don't know. every time my kid gets sick with something simple it's like $400 - $500 the insurance company pays for two visits. and most doctors i see drive nice cars and live in nice and expensive homes. I know there are expenses but the kid is gets around 15-30 minutes of office time for both visits and it's like $400. and the doctor is usually pretty busy the whole day.
Buddy, as an Indian-American I am drowning in a sea of doctors. Insurance companies have an invoice rate and they they actually pay something like 20cents on the dollar of the invoice amount. From that amount they pay the medical assistants, nurses, and database services to log into billing networks, liability insurance. I don't see doctors driving nicer cars than other people with Masters level education. (Not PhDs though. They end up in academics and drive Accords and Camrys. )
