- Abstract
More specifically, they explored physician referrals, outcomes for similar surgeries in male compared with female patients, and reimbursement at both the physician level and patient disease level. Despite these findings another cross-sectional, population-based study in Ontario[2] reported that male physicians appeared to have referral preferences for male surgeons, with more complex surgeries being referred to males. Chaikoff and colleagues[3] stated in a recent I CJS i article that in 8 of 11 Canadian medical systems surgeons were reimbursed at significantly lower rates for procedures performed on female patients than for similar procedures performed on male patients.
