Zoc Doc Profits and medical care suffers – Zocdoc - Find and book doctors Review
Zocdoc has pulled the ultimate bait and switch, thereby compromising medical care for both physicians and patients. When zocdoc originally began signing up doctors, it was free of charge. Then they began charging a monthly fee for docs. Now that they have established themselves with both physicians and patients they are now charging a per patient fee, which sometimes exceeds what the insurance pays. What that means is that if we see a zocdoc Patient with a low paying insurance ex. United Health Care Community Plan a doctor will either net zero or even worse. This means that we need to disallow patients with certain insurances from booking through zocdoc. So a patient with a low paying insurance may not book through zocdoc but if you call my office you will find out that we actually do accept your insurance.
Zocdoc charges for no shows and cancellations so if you book through zocdoc and then no show or cancel when you come back to my office we will charge you the fee.
What choice do we have? Zocdoc is bleeding physicians and thereby not allowing us to provide care to all of our patients. They are abusing the medical system and you as patients will suffer the consequences.
WE URGE ALL PATIENTS AND DOCTORS TO STOP USING ZOCDOC.
Most doctors offices have websites where you can book online. Please either call your doctors office or book online.
Docs- lets band together and all move to
Other booking platforms. There are many.
