angioplasty and stent procedures are done in people actively having heart attacks, okay? large heart attacks or kind of smaller heart attacks or having what we call, unstable angina, that is chest pain that is actually currently damaging the heart in patients. so less than 30% are actually done in these people with stable ischemic heart disease. we re 50% to have 5a stent than other countries. we re more likely to have a knee replacement, cat scan or mri. that s because our system reimburses people for doing tests and doing procedures not for necessarily making people healthier. i think what dr. nisson is describing is a fee for service model. you get paid for the service you re doing as opposed to for the overall care of the patient. this is what you do for a living. is that how you get paid? if you have a patient who comes in, you get paid a certain amount because you do a stent.
