From this, I derived the argument that routine checkups are a *major* component of Kaiser’s system, to the point that, given the flow of discussion, I felt it appropriate to call it “their whole model”. I’m sorry my hyperbole was too far.
Well that and with Kaiser it's a lot easier to tell who is in network (they never commingle in and out of network care).
