I notice now a days you can't find small two to three doctor group offices. They are all joining for-profit multi-specialty medical groups.
Why are NJ doctors, especially those in family medicine all joining for-profit, multi-specialty medical groups? Those groups are deteriorating the good doctor and patient communication/relationship that use to exist. Don't get me started on their ridiculous billing practices, where they send one billing code to the insurance company and then bill you a totally different CPT code.

When in doubt, the answer is money. It's very difficult to maintain a small practice. Insurers make that even more complicated so they are forced to see our to larger groups.
