What's the best answer here...have the insurance companies stop rating the doctors...plain and simple...sure there may be some good data here but there's also the other type...insurance is geared to making a profit and the numbers can be presented in a number of ways...it's the same principle as buying a house, if everyone was honest and both parties could trust each other, we would not need escrow companies...in my own personal opinion the rating game by insurers is not doing anyone any good...especially the doctors...get an "escrow" company to handle the data that has no other outside interest and try that route...instead of cherry picking patients and doctors....BD
Saying that insurance companies aren’t being fair to physicians or their patients when they use doctor ranking systems, the Massachusetts Medical Society yesterday took the dramatic step of suing the state agency that purchases health insurance for state employees. The esteemed medical society also named Tufts Health Care and UniCare Life and Insurance Co. in its complaint.
According to the medical society, health insurance companies try to determine how much various physicians cost them by analyzing the type, amount and quality of care these doctors provide.
