Abstract:
Robert J. Becker, M.D., risked his house, his pension, and all the assets from his 26-year medical career to start Health Care Compare, Inc., a Downers Grove, IL, utilization review (UR) company. Since then, Becker has seen that risk pay off. His method of employing physicians as part of the UR team is an attempt to alleviate some of the anxiety physicians have about the UR process.
