California radiologist testifies in Iowa hospital contract case
In Pelk county district court a San Francisco radiologist described a hospital lease plan that would give doctors ownership of radiology equipment while paying the hospital a share of gross collections. Dr Henry Gatland testified that the setup could expose patients to no monopoly, as departments remain accessible to other radiologists. The case tests whether hospitals hiring specialists can charge patients for services under a 1954 attorney general opinion.
