Funny that cosmetic services (generally not a covered procedure) falls below CPI and yet the healthcare that generally is covered by payers increases at an accelerated rate.
Do cosmetic providers have a harder time making ends meet? Perhaps the administrative cost of compliance is the real driver here. Less payer involvement, less cost?
Hmmm!
