Back when I was a teenager my doctor was part of a four doctor practice. They had a nurse and one of the doctors wives handled everything else.

Compare with a doctors office today.

My doctor does not have any full time staff. He does not accept health insurance directly though is in many networks so you can submit claims for reimbursement.

I tend not to because he’s so cheap it’s not worth the hassle.
