We often hear lately that physicians don’t KNOW what things cost, and\u00a0are thus disempowered from helping patients control costs. This item\u00a0arrived today from The Medical Professionalism Blog, the blog of the\u00a0ABIMF, the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation –<\/p>\n

“In January, I wrote about my surgical experience for a detached\u00a0retina. Since then, I met Neel Shah and learned about his\u00a0organization, Costs of Care.\u00a0 I\u00a0also read the essays of his essay contest winners. Neel wants to bring\u00a0awareness of the cost of specific tests and treatments to physicians\u00a0and patients\u00a0alike.”<\/p>\n

The post is at http:\/\/blog.abimfoundation.org\/doctor-how-much-does-it-cost\/<\/a><\/p>\n

http:\/\/costsofcare.org<\/a> says:<\/p>\n

“Costs of Care, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), is a social venture that helps\u00a0doctors understand how the decisions they make impact what patients\u00a0pay for care. By harnessing social media, mobile applications, and\u00a0other information technologies, we give doctors and patients the\u00a0information they need to deflate medical bills.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
