In my business they say a good consultant can bill out 30 or more man/hours per day. So, now we discover our doctors are doing the same.

Obviously you never worked as a mechanic and learned about 'book time'. I could beat 'book' by at least half or more. Doctors are just glorified mechanics. Pilots are just fancy bus drivers.

If that's so then why do I still have a bum knee but a wonderful turbo? Fucking doctors are shitty ass mechanics...
Little turbo car of mine will do a buck thirty before I have to hit overdrive

Actually, I did work as a mechanic Svendsen's Boat Works in Alameda. We were obligated to charge 100% of our time in the shop to a job, even while on breaks and at lunch.

That's nothing, the Boss ran across a local group that was billing by pulling charts without ever seeing a single patient. You can literally bill hundreds of hours per day while doing nothing but writing down that you were there. In fact you can write that you were there today, tomorrow and a few days from now all at the same time and bill for two or three visits. She was so pissed she spent months calling different agencies until finding someone who cared. Turns out Medicare doesn't care much about fraud but the Attorney General and FBI do.

There is a guy around the corner from me, same profession, who built a gym onto his practice. If you are a patient you get to work out for free, no membership fees. Whenever you come into the gym the practice charges the patients insurance for rehab and physical therapy codes. He will walk through the gym in between patients and "correct peoples form" and then go back and charge one-on-one time.
