HOSPITAL IMPOSES i: FEE SPLITTING BAN
Physicians Notified of New Rule
 Against Sharing Charges

Fee splitting by physicians doing
 business in the New Britain General
 hospital is ruled out in the future.
 according 10 a letter sent out to all
 local physicians by c. F. Bennett, chairman Of the board Of directors Of the hospital.
 Splitting fees is a custom not gen. erally followed. but adopted in few cases Of physicians getting a portion of q fee charged by a sur geon when surgical work is neces- sary. The hospital has been put on the approved list by the American College of Surgeons and one Of the rules whereby it must sustain this standard is to prohibit all fee split nng, Mr. Bennett states in his let ter that all physicians and sur geons who wish 10 practice In the New Britain General hospital must subscribe to the following agree ment:
 T hereby declare that during such time as I consider myself eligible to the privileges of the New Britain General hospital I shall conform 70 the principle not 70 engage in the practice Of the division Of fees un- der any guise whatever. By this principle I understand that am not to collect fees for others referring patients 10 me: nor 10 make point fees with physicians or surgeons re- fArring patients to me for operations or consultations: nor. knowingly, to permit any agent or associate Of mine 10 do so for me.
 Tt is the belief Of the board Of directors that it will be to the inter- est ot the hospital and Of the pro- fession itself to have all doctors who practice In the hospital so on rec ord against fee-splitting. If you de- sire the privilege of practicing in the New Britain General hospital please sign the above declaration and forward in the enclosed stamped, self-addressed envelope to the sec- retary O. the hospital corporation"
