To All: I think this is a very interesting topic. Ron, do you have a provider number? What type of setting are you providing your treatment? Who out there is an independent contractor? What do you see are the pros and cons? I am currently operating a divsion of a medical supply company and always looking to supplement my income. Thanks. Greg
