Murph, I'm just gonna mention this as a "hypothetical" possibility:

You do know that almost ALL the C&P's performed by the VA are actually carried out by "outside contractors"? I'd say a good 90% of all the C&P's. Heck, my wife did some last year. And, they get paid per exam regimen performed. So, hypothetically speaking, if they did NOT perform a certain procedure does NOT necessarily mean that they did NOT get paid for said procedure.

hypothetically speaking, of course............:rolleyes:

You're not listening to me:

Most ALL C&P exams are performed by CONTRACT examiners. Just because they use the existing VA facilities does not mean that the individual examiners are EMPLOYEES of the VA. It's kinda like having your house painted: It's YOUR house, but the painters are NOT your employees, they are contractors.

And, as contractors, they are paid for what they BILL their client.

And, if you doubt me, ask around.

And, this is the heading of the listings that include your Dr. Tuna, and I quote it, with emphasis added to the relevant portion:

Our Doctors lists physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners and other Licensed Independent Practitioners located at this medical center or health care system. Our Doctors is updated on a regular basis.

I think that that pretty well covers what I have been trying to tell you.
