Stop Complaining About Declining Reimbursements and Do Something! I'm continually miffed by the outrage expressed by physicians about their declining reimbursement rates. Now there's a whole new list of reimbursement models that are starting to be pushed including "Medical Homes", ACO's (Accountable Care Organizations), vertical integration and bundled reimbursement. Many pundits believe they are disguised words for "capitation" and will result in further decline in physician revenue. I don't hear any other business in America complain about their declining "reimbursement" rates. Why? Because they don't get reimbursed by a third party. Why is it that physicians think third party reimbursement is the only way to get paid? If you don't like the way you get paid and you feel at the mercy of those who set the reimbursement rates, then I would suggest finding another way.As I speak to physicians of all varieties around the country, the ones who are most enthusiastic about their career are the ones who are finding a new way to get paid. The most common strategy is to integrate ancillary and cash procedures into the practice. Patients (better referred to as consumers) spend...more

Interpretation and Rectification OF ARPI - Contra Proferentem If a phrase in ARPI can have two or more sensible meanings, then the application of the rule known as "contra proferentem" will result in the phrase being construed in favour of the insured and therefore against the underwriter, provided that he had drafted the policy. For example, the policy may refer to "stock" in the description of personal property. It will not be clear from that description as to whether it means stock in process or completed stock, i.e. finished goods. Unless the underwriter could persuade the court to accept expert evidence, to express a contrary view, the court will probably give the phrase its widest definition so that it would favour the assured, so that it will include stock in process and finished goods.The rule does not always work against the insurer. ARPI is often a commercial contract negotiated between two corporations of equal bargaining powers. Indeed, particularly in the Lloyd's market, the policy may be drafted by the broker who is usually the agent of the assured. In those circumstances, the rule may be neutralised or, on occasions, may work in favour of the insurer. This may...more
