The American Board of Internal Medicine along with Consumer Reports has created the Choosing Wisely Initiative to advance a national dialogue on avoiding wasteful or unnecessary medical tests, treatments and procedures. The American Chiropractic Association has joined nearly 100 health groups in supporting this initiative.
According to the Institute of Medicine, up to 30 percent of health care spending is duplicative or unnecessary. This translates to hundreds of billions of dollars wasted every year in our country.
Has anyone had unneccessary or duplicate treatment or testing?
