Doctors in the United States are usually paid fees for each service they provide. The more procedures and tests they order, the more money they pocket.
I know of no doc who is paid for each procedure or test "they order". In fact that is illegal. They are paid for length of service and procedures they DO (ie if they drain an abcess, they get paid for it) just as auto mechanics, etc are.
