There are two reasons for the often unnecessary tests. Profit is one, and liability is the other. Until the malpractice awards are limited in some way, the healthcare industry will continue with the CYA mentality and perform unnecessary tests.
The system is a complicated mess.
A family member had a health problem. The family member's supervisor who has a background in nursing knew right off what the problem was. She reported what she had observed to the family member's doctor. Dr. ran some tests. Sent the person to a specialist who ran more (very expensive) tests. Then it was back to the primary, then off to another specialist and more very costly tests. It was close to 5 months before they actually started treating the problem because they had to run all of those tests, most of which were unnecessary. If they had tested for what the supervisor had suggested right off the cost would have been a fraction of what it was, and the family member would have gotten some relief from the problem months sooner.
