[The press release announcing the hearing follows:] [Press Release No. H-40, October 21, 1993] Finance Committee Reschedules Medical Practice Patterns Hearing Washington, DC - Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-NY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, announced today that the Committee has rescheduled a hearing regarding medical practice patterns and appropriateness of care originally scheduled for October 21. The hearing has been rescheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October, 26 1993, in room Sd-215 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. "Geographic variation in medical practice patterns appears to suggest that the number of expensive medical procedures may be inappropriate," Senator Moynihan said in announcing the hearing. "The Committee wants to examine the circumstances under which unnecessary procedures are performed, and inquire into how we can change the incentives in tne system in order to reduce inappropriate care." Opening Statement Of Hon. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, A U.S. Senator From New York, Chairman, Committee On Finance The Chairman. A very good morning to our distinguished panel and our guests. This is, I suppose, the last in a succession of hearings that we have been holding preparatory to receiving the administration´s proposal on health care. This particular meeting is a hearing on medical practice patterns and appropriateness of care, a subject about which both physicians and economists are concerned. Indeed, so is the rest of the Congress. It happens that one of our panelists. Dr. Wennberg, who is the Director of the Center for the Evaluative Clinical Sciences at Dartmouth is featured in a long story in the New York Times this morning on this very subject. It sounds very good. We are also going to hear from Dr. Mark Chassin. Dr. Chassin is our Commissioner of Health in New York State.
