APP Science Editor

NEW YORK R-The American
College of Surgeons denounced fee
splitting between physicians and
surgeons today as dishonest and
unethical" and harmful to patients.
Thirteen college officials told of
a renewe1 drive against the doctor
kick-backs in a frank news con-
ference with science writers. One
good weapon, they said, Is to tell
the public all the facts.
They said most doctors are hon
est, but a ''few bad apples" split
fees, giving medicine black eye.
Some said the kick-back practice
is widespread and growing in some
areas. But it is hard to irove that
any one is doing it. Twenty-three
states have laws declaring it ille
gal.
Fee-splitting means division of
fee between the doctor who first
diagnoses a patients condition and
the surgeon who operates on him.
It leads, the college officials said,
to these evils:
Over-charging in bills; unneceS-
sary operations; "ghost surgery"
when a person thinks his own doc
tor is operating and the selected
or "ghost" surgeon does it after
the patient is anesthetized; loss of
public confidence In doctors.
DR.. Alton Ochsner of New Or
leans, immediate past president Of
the college, said you should be sus-
piciouS of fee-splitting If:
Your doctor sends you TO only
one surgeon and later you get no
bill from the physician, just bill
from the surgeon.
Your doctor doesn't give you a
choice of surgeons to do the opera
ton he says is necessary or doesn't
ask you whom you want to do 1t.
II you suspect fee-splitting, your
recourse is to ask your county
medical society to investigate. The
societies have committees that do
this.
Learn whether your hospital Is
approved and accredited by top
medical organizations. The APP
proved and accredited by top medi-
cal organizations. The approved
hospitals set up safeguards against
kick-backs.
-Four known surgeons, mostly
members Of the colleges Board of
Regents and Governors, agreed
that ''in certain areas, fee-splitting
Is widely practiced by a large per-
centage Of physicians and sur
geons."
They would not specify these
areas, beyond the comments Of
two of the surgeons.
DR.. Loyal Davis of Chicago, a
college regent, said, ''There is no
question but that fee-splitting is on
the increase IN Chicago and the
surrounding area"
DR.. Newell W. Phipott of Mon
treal, q regent, said he did not
know Of it IN Montreal butt that he
knew 4 was done IN some localities
nearby. He told Of one young sur
geon, starting h practice, who re-
fused 10 make kick-backs and had
to leave an unnamed town within
six months.
Ochsner said, Ell a young man
starts practice Ia q neighborhood
where splitting Is rampant and re-
fuses 10 do so because he IL honest,
he would starve."
The college sets high standards
for admission of fellows (now num-
bering 1T,5O0), including a pledge
not TO split fees. About a dozen
fellows have been ousted IN recent
years for breaking the pledge.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has informed the college that it

be listed as income tax deductions
