Worse than that they staff doctors in name only. The type of quacks who couldn't make it in the real medical world. I really don't understand how they can't be sued for malpractice when they argue a diagnosis with your doctor. At that point they are acting as your doctor.

That's why you have to request the documentation and proof of specialty to confirm whether they're acting out of scope.

From personal experience, the vast majority are practicing out of scope. It would cost them a ton of money in overhead to have a cardiologist deny a claim for cardiology related testing or treatment so they just wing it. In some cases it's not even a physician, it's a nurse, NP or PA.

This is where government needs to step and regulate but we all know that isn't going to happen.

The regulation is there, it's the enforcement that's the problem. We don't need lawmakers, we need cops.
