If I was actually paying the bill instead of my insurance company (and I was a fully informed consumer), I would be receiving a better quality of care. <BR/><BR/>It is clear that doctors need to be careful about conflict of interests if they own their own scanning or adjunct service. It may be an added convenience to get a scan in the same office, but am I getting the same quality? Good post. BrandenTarlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06499604157709023802noreply@blogger.com
