For physicians, having options is generally a good thing. It allows you to choose from various avenues and select the one that most benefits your practice. For instance, outsourced billing companies give you the option to streamline practice operations. And pay-for-performance models provide the potential to increase revenue through a different method of billing.
Options can have their drawbacks, though. Take patients who have the option to self-diagnose through health websites. This has caused a major problem for physicians when patients choose to ignore their treatment plans.
