Medicare payments are higher for participating physicians , their claims are processed faster than those of non-participating physicians , and their names are included in directories which are distributed widely and are available to senior citizens in every part of the country . If subjected to moral re - straint , or a medical regimen , they yield with reluctance to the means proposed , and generally refuse and resist , on the ground that such means are unnecessary where no disease exists ; and when , by the system adopted , they are so far recovered , as to be enabled to suppress the exhibition of their former peculiarities , and are again fit to be restored to society , the physician , and those friends who put them under the physician 's care , are generally ever after objects of enmity , and frequently of revenge . The taxpayer price tag is probably in the range of $ 750,000 per physician , and we want to make sure we use those precious health care resources wisely . This framework has been developed through three meetings with representatives from industry , physicians , and experts . In fact , many older people prefer to receive treatment for mental disorders by their primary care physicians , and most older people do receive such care in the primary care setting ( Brody et al ., 1997 ; Unutzer et al ., 1997a ) . In the " chemotherapy " scenario , the numbers were similar : 60 percent said they would use it if they were the patient , 72 percent chose it for their child , 68 percent said they would advise the treatment to patients as a physician , and 68 percent said they would support use of chemotherapy in this situation if they ran a busy hospital . For example , a task force sponsored by the Office of Emergency Preparedness and the American College of Emergency Physicians developed a set of competencies for emergency medical technicians , emergency physicians , and emergency nurses to care for casualties resulting from nuclear , biological , or chemical incidents . Close coordination with the family , the primary care physician , and other community providers is essential . Several factors were considered in making the recommendation for an increase in medical school capacity , including U.S. population growth , a demand for more medical care by aging Baby Boomers , the retirement of practicing physicians , and younger doctors working fewer hours . In that regard I find to be persuasive the opinion expressed by Gibran Naddy , M.D ., the resident 's treating physician , and Petitioner 's medical director , that Resident # 21 did not suffer a severe decline that Petitioner failed to assess .
