“Cream Me Up, Scotty”
Feb

At least once per episode, Captain Kirk would instruct chief engineer Montgomery Scott (Scotty) to man the transporter and beam-up his energy pattern to a new location. Today, we have certain compounders who want to “cream up” your claimants and transport your dollars to their location.
Writing in The New York Times/Business Day, and with the help of actual claims provided by PMSI, Andrew Pollack illustrates the extreme costs of certain compounding creams.
Creams #1 and #2 represent the compounders’ answer to low back pain, versus the Anti-Cream, a more traditional, conservative approach.

Cream #2: $4,100 |
Anti-Cream: $200 |
