UM: Health

The Associated Press reports on two studies by UM researchers that show a gap between what vaccines cost and what private insurers reimburse – causing doctors to lose money. This loss is causing about one in 10 doctors to consider dropping that service. Says Dr. Gary Freed, who co-authored articles about the studies for the December issue of Pediatrics: “Many physicians really weren’t aware and that they were getting reimbursed so little.” [Source]
