Doctors often recommend unnecessary procedures

It’s termed “defensive medicine” and doctors admit to practicing medicine in this fashion.  The main reason for this style of practice is due to medical malpractice suits. 

According to an article in Newsweek , “physicians estimate that 35 percent of diagnostic tests they ordered were to avoid lawsuits, as were 19 percent of hospitalizations, 14 percent of prescriptions, and eight percent of surgeries, which amounts to some “$650 billion in unnecessary care every year.” 

The health care reform legislation didn’t address tort reform,

Buying Coverage from “Top-tier” Carriers

I received word today that one of the health insurance carriers in Georgia has failed. The company – Imerica – offered very low rates and comprehensive coverage, but it had very weak financials.  It is expected that Imerica will be liquidated within the next 30 days.

As an independent agent, I received several offers to represent Imerica, but I decided not to do it.  I only purchase insurance from “top-tier” carriers and that is what I advise my clients to do as well.  

Health Care Reform — How will it affect you?

Well, it finally passed.  Whether or not you are pleased with the results, it is time to pay close attention to how to adapt to the changes that will take place.

Most of the major changes will not be implemented until 2014, however, there are some significant changes that take place this year.  If you are a small business owner, with fewer than 50 employees, then you should speak with your tax professional about how the new tax credits will affect you.
