Physician numbers at odds in Maryland

A recent report detailing physician shortages in Maryland is flawed and misleading, according to representatives from CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. Rather than a shortage, Maryland enjoys an adequate supply of physicians, fourth best in the United States, said Henry Miller, who represented CareFirst during a meeting of a state healthcare panel. Miller then came under fire by members of the Maryland Governor's Task Force on Health Care Access and Reimbursement for his assessment.
