Monday, December 09, 2002Harry Fry, 60, was a Cincinnati cardiologist for 25 years before he retired last year. Fry, who now spends time driving a tractor on his farm east of Cincinnati, said reduced reimbursement for his services was a major factor in his decision to quit. He said that in 1990, for every $100 in services he billed for, he was reimbursed $92. In 2000, the year he decided to retire, his reimbursement per $100 billed was $29. "To stay even, I had to work three times as hard," Fry said. "And no businessman would be willing to put up with that." No, they wouldn't. And neither would most doctors. posted by Sydney on 12/09/2002 08:08:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
