The following is a continuation of Monday's post on healthcare mystery shopping from Jodi Manfredi, president of Examine Your Practice (www.examineyourpractice.com).
Do I Pay For The Doctor’s Visit?
No! You should never pay for any visit, consultation or non-invasive procedure you may have. Nor do we file a claim on your insurance. If you are asked for any type of payment, it is reimbursed or the shop is revealed and your money is returned on the spot.
However, if you do anything outside the guidelines you may be responsible.
Shoppers have been grateful for some of the assignments; if they are uninsured, it may have been the nudge they needed to have that not-so-pleasant mammogram or a little more fun, a consultation with a plastic surgeon. I am sorry to say there will be no face lifts or liposuction on the house!
What If I Like The Doctor or Dentist I Visited, Can I Become Their Patient?
Sure, many shoppers have liked the provider so well they have switched doctors or went forward with a cosmetic procedure, dental work, etc. We ask you don’t do that on the day of your shop. Of course at that point you become a patient of record and the mystery shopping company is out of the picture.
How Much Dough Can I Make Doing Healthcare Shops?
Healthcare shops generally pay well. Dependant on the type of shop, location and complexity they may pay anywhere from $25.00 to $250.00; healthcare phone shops pay in the same range as retail phone shops.
