Insurance industry : we really don’t care abt a pt’s quality of life

screwed1Pain management and reduction of opiate use: A proven model meets resistance

http://drugtopics.modernmedicine.com/drug-topics/news/pain-management-and-reduction-opiate-use-proven-model-meets-resistance

From the article:

Resistance from some providers appears to be based in aversion to more than just pharmacists. When I presented to the chief medical officer of one healthcare plan, the response was, “Why would I want to know something else that was wrong with my patients that I would have to treat them for?”

IMO ..This paragraph out of the article explains the mind set of the insurance industry… Don’t ask me to spend a extra penny to improve the quality of life of the people that we insure… They are not worth the effort..
