This was one of the original...I agree completely. <br /><br />This was one of the original goals of "managed care". Unfortunately, it has become corrupted over time.<br /><br />I agree an independent panel of retired expert doctors to provide an unbaised second opinion would be very helpful. Maybe a smart entrepreneur could set up this service ?

TPAs as medical administrators...Hello Dr. Malpani,<br /><br />TPAs as medical administrators can also play an important role here in some ways. <br /><br />TPAs can appoint/engage specialists for second opinions and save avoidable treatment/costs which the patient may have to bear. <br /><br />Ofcourse their first goal would be to save cost and hence could be biased, but if they are professional and can build trust over time, it could really do this for innocent/ignorant customers.Mahavir Choprahttp://www.medimanage.comnoreply@blogger.com
