One of my friends is a radiologist. He said that he receives a lot of things to read from Medicare patients. Medicare just knocks down the payment to $40. And that has to pay for the actual x-ray tech and the machine, then his fee, and his fee is split with the billing company. And he has to pay malpractice insurance out of that. In the end, he is often left with almost no income. And if he misses something he is on the hook to be sued by the patient, for a X-ray he read for a dollar of income.
