Would love to be a fly on the wall of that meeting
I would love to be a fly on the wall of that meeting Mark! The whole presentation and how Dr. D will defend it. I know that I would definitely come away from the presentation learning a lot of new things.
Yep, it is all about money. The "bottom line" question they will try to answer is do the risks outweigh the benefits???
Insurance and finances are such a major barrier to access health care services. I would love to hear Dr. D's speech on this as it relates to a patient's "utilization of services", costs compared to fusion et al, and as with any insurance company - risks associated and patient outcomes. Especially since it seems that Medicare, Medicaid, and Managed Care are heavily looking at performance measures / patient outcomes as part of their reimbursement methods......- From what I understand.....
Please keep us posted.
