Summary
Our guest today is Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger. We learned about him in a ProPublica article we recently came across. Dr. Alex is on a crusade to educate docs about one very big way that they are getting ripped off and likely don't even know it. He educates us on what payment processing fees are, and how they came to impact docs. These fees are costing doctors millions and millions of dollars every single year. We hope everyone will listen to this episode and then fight for changes to this policy!
