“Best Doctors”

Have you heard of Best Doctors? Maybe not, but it appears to be a worthwhile service. Employers offer this service to employees in an effort to improve health care and manage costs. The following is from an employer website that offers the service.

Take note of the reported results I have placed in bold. It makes you wonder about the health care you are receiving doesn’t it? It should‼️ I was questioning a doctor recently about the apparent duplication and frequency of some services and he readily admitted much of what is ordered is to protect him and others from malpractice claims; better safe than sorry … while spending someone else’s money and putting patients under stress and even at risk. But that’s health care today – marketing drugs and law suites and questionable care on every TV in America.
