Content: A psychiatrist who sees patients for hour-long sessions will be disadvantaged and that’s why in-network psychiatrists don’t usually provide psychotherapy. What you don’t hear when you read about how psychiatrists don’t take insurance is that we still like what we do. I still have a job where I spend each hour listening to patients without interruption, I then put a note in a real paper file in a metal filing cabinet. I just read that the average primary care doctor spends 2/3 of their time on clerical work. I’m happy to say that I spend the vast majority of my time in e-free sessions with my patients and I’m hanging on to that for as long as I can. But it’s not just about the money, it’s about three things: the money, avoidance of mountainous paperwork hassles, and the the freedom to practice psychiatry in a rewarding way.
