shrick- I have no idea what your agenda is here, but I am very glad you brought this to the boards attention. But might I suggest when speaking of a subject you know little about, you add, "IMO". In this case you really do not understand SPIN's business and the true implications to SPIN. Which is unquestionably positive.If you don't believe me, call the Company.
As I have been saying, SPIN has nothing to do with even the potentially fraudulent cases. Spin's affiliates are paid to assist the case by doing diagnostics. If there is not unquestionable evidence by an MRI (initially diagnosed by a Radiologist MD type) that there is damage, SPIN Affiliates won't take the case. But, even if they do take a case with a questionable MRI, that doesn't mean SPIN itself has to take the receivable.
What you are missing is the obvious. If this does become law, the law will almost force attorneys to build as strong a case as possible. And that is exactly what SPIN affiliates offer. This "law" will be a funnel to send more legitimate business and cull out the BS cases leaving the Insurance Companies with a larger budget to settle the real cases.
Now you can sit here and do "what ifs" all day, but the what ifs that you are bringing up have no more to do with SPIN, then making the same "what ifs" about the ERs.
[Note: I did not use IMO in this post]
