Lowering of Insurance Fees
نویسنده
چکیده
To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette Sir,?It has come to my knowledge that some of the Insurance Companies are paying only Rs. 5 for examination of cases when, as a matter of fact, the legal fee for the same, as allowed by majority of Companies is Rs. 6 or Rs. 8 per case up to Rs. 2,000. Therefore I would request my fejlow practitioners to charge not less than Rs. 6 for each case. If the Companies do not pay their scheduled fees, the examination of cases of such Companies should not be made as this would lead to illegal lowering of the fee day by day. In the interest of us all I make this appeal and hope that the medicatl licentiates who do insurance wbrk will kindly respond to it.
