US surgeons frequently require that people lose weight or stop smoking before they will perform elective surgery. They'll also often require you to have seen a dentist.
US surgeons frequently require that people lose weight or stop smoking before they will perform elective surgery. They'll also often require you to have seen a dentist. It makes total sense to me.
Sure, if the person performing the service decides that is what is best, but when politicians and bureaucrats forcibly make healh care decisions, thats where the problems start.
Yep, I have a small copay and though I rarely use it, it covers about anything. No waits, no designated doctors I just pick up the phone and make an appt or if need be I simply walk into the local urgent care.
and my insurance covers me anywhere I need care, whether in Europe, Asia etc
I like those whose unhealthy lifestyles to be charged more though like car insurance
Untreated gum disease or tooth decay. You do not want to go into an elective surgery with a pre-existing infection.
A friend of mine had to wait nearly six months for his hip replacement in order to clear up his gingivitis and get a clean bill of health from a dentist.

You think insurance companies aren't a factor in these decisions? A surgeon who doesn't pay attention to this stuff could get his malpractice insurance yanked real fast. Those insurance bureaucrats aren't interested in paying out on the behalf of a reckless surgeon.

Why shouldn't health insurance premiums price out similar to car insurance premiums....if I have a lot of accidents where I'm at fault, tickets, DUI, my auto rates would skyrocket.
Yup, it's always a group decision, governed by both private and public bureaucrats, unless you can afford to pay cash from your own pocket. Most of us are not in that position.
