It's some kind of trade law that prohibits people from even divulging fee schedules. which i think is ASININE. how can u have public discussion if u don't even know the facts. now if u want to really bust some balls lets talk workers' comp fee schedules. but this is getting way off topic and i'll quit now.

>>>>Cigna pay 100% of the fantasy rates<<<<

And there it is a payee setting the bar. I've no idea how the repair to our health system can be accomplished. The distortions between payee's the hedging between the haves and have nots, the various group rate pricing plus our beloved government has the medical field particularly here in California as convoluted as our equally beloved IRS.

>>>>dropping Blue Cross and signing up with Blue Shield<<<<

The physician I'm using now doesn't take either. He says one becomes too busy taking Blue Shield, Blue Cross. I cant tell you how refreshing it is to hear such form ones doctor. I can attest that the level of investigation and thoroughness with such a doctor is on a higher level than what I have experienced in the past. He chocks it up to being originally from the east coast, New York to be exact. He says there is a definite difference between east coast and west coast medicine.
I gather his distaste for cost effective medicine is high from our discussions.
