What Happens When Your Doctor Decides Not to Accept Insurance?
Recently I encountered a gynecologist who didn’t take any insurance, a dentist who didn’t accept dental insurance and a dermatologist who no longer accepted my plan. Just what the heck is going on when it comes to doctors not accepting health insurance?
Introducing New City Catechism
the practice of catechesis, particularly among adults, has been almost completely lost today. It seems so medieval to have children memorizing catechisms, much less doing it as adults. So why did The Gospel Coalition team up with Redeemer Presbyterian Church to develop New City Catechism?
Head Cam Video of Supersonic Space Jump
This is the first footage from brave Felix Baumgartner’s suit camera as he descended to Earth. It starts right after the jump and shows the moment in which Felix breaks the speed of sound and spins out of control.
No Reformation without Sanctification
You don’t usually hear about the Reformation in connection with this topic. But the Reformation fought and won critical battles for a right understanding of sanctification. Renewing these triumphs over sin in our own time ought to be core to our identity as evangelicals and inheritors of the legacy from our Reformation forefathers. These days, we usually identify only two causes with the Reformation: the final authority of the Bible and the doctrine of justification without the works of the law. In fact, when the Reformation first began, it had almost nothing to do with either of those causes. The Reformation began as an argument over sanctification.
Sell All That You Have
From RC Sproul: Jesus told the rich young fool that he must sell all that he had, give it to the poor, and follow him. Is this true for all who would follow Jesus?
When Under Attack
The only rest our souls will ever find is in God alone. And the peace he gives no one can take away.
Interesting healthcare article. We go the self-pay route for our primary doctor. Actually, the doctor quoted in the article, Craig Koniver, IS our doctor. He went to this mode of practice two years ago, and last year pared his staff down to one – himself. We stay because his approach to care has helped us turn our health around. We call or email if we need him, and he’s back in touch within minutes. When we visit, we have as much time with him as we need. Our costs are controlled and known in advance. We no longer feel like just a number in an EMR system. And we trust his advice, knowing it is based on a holistic approach to our well-being, not on a need to satisfy coding requirements or pitch product.He won’t get rich, but he makes a living, and spends a lot of time with his family, including his doctor wife who left practice to home-school their kids. It’s refreshing to know a doctor brave enough to defy conventions so he can fulfill his true calling. Sort of like certain bishops I know….
