Doctors are  not seeing patients. Some doctors do not see patients  because of fraudulent billing ,i.e., the  recent sneaker scheme of Eric Vainer in New York.  Others don’t  because ObamaCare regulations  put computers between doctors and their patients.
The Kings County District Attorney’s Office says two clinics operating at 721 and 741 Flatbush Ave. were the main targets of the investigation. Staff arrested include podiatrists, vascular surgeons, office managers and administrators.
According to prosecutors, an eavesdropping warrant allowed them to obtain hundreds of calls about claims being submitted to Medicaid and Medicare without actually seeing patients. The clinics are also accused of billing for unnecessary medical equipment.
The accused mastermind has been identified as Eric Vainer. Authorities say he operated a clinic and also had a medical equipment company. He allegedly had doctors prescribe specific equipment for patients so that his company could profit.

Doctors frequently don’t see patients now when they spend their time gazing at computer monitors in compliance with the rules that prohibit not seeing patients.
