Soaring U.S. Healthcare Costs Part 2: The Proposal

Dr. John Poothullil

Reading Time: 5 minutes In this article, I my proposal for how we can reduce the costs of healthcare by implementing a system of periodic assessments of CPT codes and costs. I am not suggesting that all CPT codes are unnecessary or wasteful.
