Surgical Assistant's Fee
Each physician engaged in the care of the patient is entitled to
compensation commensurate with the value of the services they have
personally rendered. However, the WSMA strongly believes the nature of the
financial arrangement must be made known to the patient. (JC 6.12-87)
