Additionally, FFS does not necessarily imply customary fees. Sometimes you will receive lower than the customary fees and be forced to accept those as payment in full.
Again you are wrong. FFS means the doc gets compensated according to his/her fee schedule. I guarantee this is higher than any contracted insurance reimbursement. And yes, FFS does imply the customary fee for that doctor. If the patient can't pay or accept the MD's fee than he or she can go elsewhere. It really is that simple.
