Reply #19: I used to work for Doctors doing the billing. [View All]

I have to admit that WC was abused a lot, especially when I worked for a chiropractor. He salivated whenever a WC or auto accident injury came to him. There was a triumvate between the orthopedic medical doctor, the claims lawyer and himself. By the time a claim was settled, the injured got very little with the lion's share going to the above three. I finally quit in disgust because I didn't want to be privy to this dishonesty.

I know these cheaters are in the minority, but I think their abuse of the system has much to do with the Republicans being able to push through this legislation. I reported these people to the Insurance Commissioner. This was twenty years ago and they all are still in business today so apparently nothing was done.
