Workers Compensation:
A Cash Cow For Medical Providers
.
By Julius Young of the California Bar
.
.
Are medical treatment recommendations
sometimes driven by profit motive?
.
In my whole career I've met very few
injured workers who expressed concern
that the treatment recommendations of
their doctor were influenced by
physician income considerations.
.
Americans tend to trust their doctors.
Some of us grew up watching Dr. Kildare,
Ben Casey, or the MASH doctors.
Others cut their teeth on ER or
General Hospital.
.
Nothing pisses off an injured worker as
much as having an outside, non-examining
utilization reviewer doctor challenge
the recommendations of their doctor.
But the reality is that sometimes medicine
and economics are intertwined. Just as
insurers want to limit costs, there are
some doctors who are happy to push
procedures and tests for profit.
