Dear Paul,

>From the information you have given, this appears to be highly unethical, 
and if funding bodies are involved, fraudulent as well.  This can only lead 
to ill-will from all parties that are, or may become, involved.

I can only sit here in despair when I hear about this type of behaviour!

How does everyone else feel?

Subject:	Charges & Chairsides

Dear all,

I've recently returned from a meeting on chair-side appliances at 
Birmingham UCE.
One speaker commented that he charges ?150 for his 'casted' Orthotics AND 
also for his chairsides, which only cost him about ?20. We took this to be 
additional to assessment fees etc. I feel he spotted the dropped jaws and 
commented he made this chair-side appliance mark up happily, stated 
patients don't know the difference and it was 'great'.

Does anybody else sit uneasily with this? Are there any guidelines for 
pricing Podiatric Biomechanics in the UK ( or anywhere )? I personally 
don't mark up orthotics ( I feel the lab marks up for its expertise before 
they get to me ) but charge a so-called 'respectable' consultation rate ( 
similar to other U.K professions allied to medicine ).

What do you think?

Cheers
