  • A group of Boise orthopaedic surgeons is going public with a dispute over how much Blue Cross of Idaho pays them for their work.  The physicians who make up Orthopaedic Associates, say the insurer pays them as in-network providers. They claim it's wrong.

  1. When every other health care professional is taking a hit on their service fees, why not this group. In difficult economic times, you expect to have a decrease in income. In you situation, you survive by helping you payors survive.

    Stop belly aching, step up to the bat, and put up with it. What do you want, the health care system to force additional Gov't. controls on you? Your Self serving current actions are the best way to help convince the American public to move in the direction of socialized healt care. Is that what you want? Time to get your brains out of your pocket book and back into economic reality! P.S. Don't give me that cra... about skills, extra learning,advance training, and the cost of doing business. The public could care less. It's the bottom line we are interested in. Not yours, ours.
