Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Disagreement surrounds the discussion of whether the demise of two Ingenix price databases will aid the provider-payer relationship. Karen Ignagni, AHIP's CEO, questions the objective, wondering why in some cases "billings so exceed reimbursement." However, AMA President Nancy Nielsen, left, retorts, "This is an attempt to divert attention from what was clearly a rigged scheme". |
