Abstract
Increasingly, physicians of all specialties are frustrated with the complex, unrewarding system of third-party billing in the United States. It has led many physicians to wonder how best to change their practice to ameliorate these challenges or leave their practice altogether. It is possible that family physicians suffer most because they are trained to provide comprehensive care to all comers, regardless of reimbursement status. What they may not know is that leaving the practice might be the best thing for everyone, and it doesn't necessarily mean leaving medicine! As I realized during my experiences working in South Florida, transitioning to a house call practice can be emotionally and financially rewarding.
