This is the only reason I am in favor of Pat's hair count theory; Not because I believe it will make any difference, but because in an increasingly competitive industry patient information, fiscal transparency and global standards are a good thing.

 

My point is quite simple: It has been stated that H&W, Feller, or any others who may subdivide 4-hair grafts (or >4) are somehow ripping off patients by charging for two grafts instead of one. My point was simply that, to the contrary, they are doing this for the patient's benefit (as described by Dr. Feller) and, consequently, are completely justified in charging for these extra grafts (if, indeed, they do).

 

In any event, there are so relatively few of these larger grafts that I doubt the final surgery price would be significantly effected. Take my surgeries, for example. 4,000 grafts x .02 (app. 2% of grafts are 4 or larger) = 80 grafts; x $2.50 = $200; = insignificant.

We are actually on the same page then, Bushy.

The only difference of opinion we have is that hair counts will not make a difference. You don't, I think it will.

Good Discussion All.

Go Cubs!

Isn't it great to be able to have a hearty debate without throwing mud? Thanks for engaging.
