It is amazing to me that doctors would actually admit to insurance fraud.  In fact, if you a study or survey States that XX regularly read % of doctors defensive medicine is practice, what they really say "Yes, I fraud on a regular basis to commit by ordering excessive tests and procedures."

Published a study was in the June 28th issue of the archives of internal medicine, showed "91% of physician practice defensive medicine."  In reality, this was a survey of 2,416 doctors be asked whether it with a few instructions match.  This figure "91 %" was not on medical records or some other specific fact are based; It has been calculated reviews based on doctors.

In March 2010, Medscape.com published an article, physicians are talking about: the culture of defensive medicine.  They contain information from an all physician discussion group, that the question - asked was "do defensive medicine practice?"

A neurologist said, "here in the Southern Michigan, home of the (known) misconduct by lawyers, we defensive medicine every day with every patient practice."

A radiologist, was quoted in the article words: "defensive medicine is practiced everywhere, everyday." "And the costs have to be to simply enormous."

There are many attempts to prove defensive medicine with review and general opinions. However, I have to read something that is based, which point to medical records, that tests, justified by the medical conditions were not, were ordered.  If the medical community is defensive medicine is going to say is, why offer to show them to their medical history?
