European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - September 9, 1980, Darmstadt, Hesse The stars and stripes tuesday. September 0, 1980 a Wechab. A a he Bustam m modern of All the criticisms that have been made of the american health care system one strikes me Ai particularly valid doctors Are paid for doing but not for thinking. Therefore while Mott insurance companies will pay a set amount for a surgical operation or Laboratory Teit they pay Little or nothing for a surgeon s evaluation when he decides not to operate or not to order an elaborate an expensive series of tests. A number of critics believe this system Momola surgery and procedure that May not be necessary. My own feeling is that i rare cases this is untrue. What is valid How Crew is that surgery and medical procedures subsidize evaluations. A recent meeting of Ike american society of internal Medicine and droned this problem. The Medicine " ""t5-"�" for testing not delegates acknowledged they Are the victims Ofa payment schedule that pays physicians More far conducting tests such As electrocardiograms Proclo Copic thin for thinking about a patient problem or talking to the a system of payment did not Spring from greed or stupidity on the part of either doctors or insurance companies. Health insurance originated As surgical insurance in ulc old Days surgery was the most expensive Type of medical treatment and therefore it was the first to become insured. Insurance companies i edged they would pay a certain amount for various common pattern set the Model. When illnesses other than sorg incl Ilin esies were first covered by medical insurance he plans emphasized certain Standard tests such As cardio Grams that were done in Many offi. No provision however was made for obtaining a history performing a physical examination or counselling the patient. As a practising internist i can agree Withy colleagues criticism of our present system. Mat insurance programs including medicare and medicaid pay me More for a three mule Electrocardiogram than for a detailed half hour examination of patient. The american society of internal Medicine s Resolution to reduce the discrepancy Between cognitive and procedural fees in other words to pay for thinking As Well As doing should be supported by everyone who wants a rational system of medical care.
