Third-party claim
“As a result, having more psychiatrists in the community likely won't benefit a significant proportion of the most vulnerable patients.”
Guest post by Dr. Eric Arzubi (Frontier Psychiatry, Montana), introduced by Owen. Arzubi argues that psychiatry's high geographic retention rate (67%) no longer matters for access. First reason: only 55% of psychiatrists accept Medicare and 36% accept Medicaid, so adding psychiatrists to a community will not help most publicly insured, most vulnerable patients.
