Who really cares? Applied doesn't spend money on anything, let alone on physicians and meals so who cares? It doesn't impact us and customers don't care either.
what benefit is it for Applied to be a "member" other than to have you say "look how stupid Applied is for joining this group when they could be paying me more..."
Unless it's a quid pro quo contribution? https://projects.propublica.org/docdollars/company/applied-medical-resources-corporation
I'm not trying to defend Applied but those payments are reportable by law per the Sunshine Act. Applied not joining Advamed is another story altogether. That's just another bullshit example of how cheap they are and how "ethical" they tout themselves to be.
