Blue Cross and others offering docs incentives to keep costs low...and when incentives don't work? Pressure is applied. Oh, Steve Wilson's making more friends. http://www.wxyz.com/content/ne ws/investigators/story/WILSON- Not-What-the-Doctor-Ordered/J8 GpHlBky0SmRaEvjPL5AQ.cspx (Message edited by gplimpton on March 17, 2009) |

To be fair, it appears that it's more than just Blue Cross. Seems like a good effort to keep costs down, but it just doesn't come off right because you know there are doctors not ordering tests so they can get their "bonuses." |
