Tennessee doctors earn big money denying disability claims
The centerpiece case for the story is an odd one to support the assertion.<p>The article vilifies the evil doctors who carelessly churn through disability claims, but it also notes that the doctor for the article&#x27;s centerpiece was not provided any medical records indicating the patient&#x27;s cancer was metastasized and inoperable. Absent that information, the determination may have been correct.<p>The doctor made $420k&#x2F;yr for full time work processing claims. That puts him somewhere between dermatologists and urologists for doctor compensation, which is on the higher end of specialists. Is that too much? I have no idea, it seems like the job requires a great deal of breadth.
