The doctors & nurse-practitioners say, that the use of medical codes (used by the govt & private insurance companies), ... is barring them from ordering the testing & medical care that the patients need & want, .. such as better bloodwork [http://www.gsdl.com]. What can patients do, to help override this very sick & sleazy monopoly which some powerful groups (like AMA, Medicare, etc) now have, over our medical system in the US? What is the process for getting more & better codes through? And for helping to cancel the worst tests, ... such as the use of EMG/NCV & CAT-scans to test for most spine injuries, ... when these tests repeatedly show nothing? [Also, these tests are being used by the worst doctors, to justify their non-diagnosis & non-treatment of seriously-injured patients, ... to waste patients' time & resources, & to run-up high medical bills for no good reason.] Other testing is so much better & more practical/logical/useful for spine injuries, ... such as motion x-ray [http://www.nu-best.com] & stand-up MRIs [http://www.fonar.com]. How can we get some codes for better blood testing, through the now very failed medical system in the US? What is the process? Susan, Su_Texas my opinions
