My doctor has been using EMRs for about 5 years now. I'm wondering if it was mandated by Regence, and also suspect that she paid the price out of her pocket to update her records to electronic media. Personally, I think it's a great way to keep records, and I love the fact that I am allowed complete access from my computer.

Of course what I object to is govt funding. She did in in her office without govt funding (I'll be sure to ask next time I'm in), so why can't others? Just another Nanny State intrusion imo.

I don't think my doctor's fees are out of line, and I am billed at the insurer's base cost, which I assume is in line with other providers regardless of whether they've updated their system or not?

I could be wrong!
