I agree exactly, for the most part, but it doesn't save money from the patient's perspective. Patients will tell you, if they got to keep making that same $20-$40 co-pay with every visit, to see the PA, the same co-pay they would have to pay to see the doc, although it wouldn't matter to some, many of the patients would not be pleased, with some leaving the practice, thinking they are getting ripped off. That is what goes on.
