Sickening.
PPO networks (even broad ones) are little more than glorified yellow pages with many “in network” folks that deliver a poor value prop. I like an open, transparent network that achieves the Quadruple Aim — https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/health-rosetta-transparent-medical-network-dave-chase
