This post is exactly why physicians are burning out and quitting.
I’ve spent 30 years as an anesthesiologist, studying and training, getting up at 4am daily, being at my best for my patients.
And random people decide they know more about my job than I do, and call us frauds. Peachy.

You get paid when you pad your time, and lots of anesthesiologists do.
The insurer is moving to Medicare standards for a reason, and that reason is widespread industry fraud.
It is frankly suspicious you are attempting to bullshit people about this.
