Physicians don’t read insurance contracts before they sign them. This is a horrible idea:
When a health insurance company has gained complete control over a doctor’s access to patients, that company has also gained complete control over the doctor’s viability as a practitioner. From that moment, the doctor must do whatever he/she must to keep the insurance company satisfied. Under this sort of “business” arrangement, the concept of a “contract” takes on a whole new color.
