And Andy, how about you? What, what are your perspective on this?
22:52
Yeah.
22:52
You know, again, for us, we're, we're in small communities, um, you know, rural Indiana, but, uh, w- definitely access to care.
22:59
So kinda similar to Jen's practice, you know, we have Medicare, Medicaid, and then we have commercial payers and whatnot.
23:04
But yeah, you know, to the best of my knowledge and, and I, I keep up with it, you know, I don't look at it every single week or month, but as far as reimbursement rates from insurance companies have not kept up with inflationary pressures.
23:15
They, they have not.
23:16
And so then you have to create that margin elsewhere, uh, when you're capped from insurance reimbursement rates in order to be able to, you know, pay your team members more and you have to be able to retain them, right? I mean, you can't, you can't just look at your team and be like, "Okay, we're gonna hire you at this and then we're just gonna keep you there and maybe give you a 2% or 3% raise every year regardless of your performance and the, you know, your results." It's like you can't do that and we try to focus on our practice about results-based compensation.

I may, I may be making that assumption.
