Some Perverse Incentives in the Healthcare System
Posted on August 30, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
Perverse Incentives in the Healthcare System
By Paul Thomas MD
There are perverse incentives in the healthcare system. As a part of my mission to provide affordable and accessible health care in Detroit and beyond, it needs to be said that the middlemen in healthcare inflate the cost of the care that you receive.Anthem Revenue $104 Billion (2019)
Cigna Revenue $154 Billion (2019)
United Revenue $242 Billion (2019)
Aetna Revenues $69.6 Billion (2019)
Cigna CEO salary $18.9 million (2018)
United CEO salary $21.5 million (2018)
Aetna CEO salary $18.7 million (2017)
The total annual healthcare spending in the US is over $3.6 trillion annually.
- Healthcare spending on administration: 34%
- Healthcare spending on physician salary: 8.6%
When your doctor can’t get you the tests/imaging/procedures/surgery/medication you NEED, remind yourself that the middle management, the CEOs, the lobbyists for health insurance company did NOT swear an oath to put your health above money.
Your doctor did.
************
Doctors are missing sleep, skipping vacation, answering calls on weekend and holidays, missing important family events, and otherwise working tirelessly to keep you healthy.
All of that’s to say that I firmly believe in the power of the doctor-patient relationship and removing the middlemen from this equation.
THANK YOU

EMR ‘versus’ EHR
Posted on August 20, 2020 by Editor-in-Chief
What is the Difference – Know the Difference
By staff reporters
Both an EMR and EHR are digital records of patient health information. An EMR is best understood as a digital version of a patient’s chart. It contains the patient’s medical and treatment history from one practice. Usually, this digital record stays in the doctor’s office and does not get shared. If a patient switches doctors, his or her EMR is unlikely to follow.
By contrast, an EHR contains the patient’s records from multiple doctors and provides a more holistic, long-term view of a patient’s health. It includes their demographics, test results, medical history, history of present illness (HPI), and medications.
