This is the best summary I could come up with:

As several health-care institutions in the Montreal area prepare to award millions in contracts to the private sector when they outsource eye surgeries, Quebec’s association of ophthalmologists is raising concerns about the quality of care that patients will receive.

An analysis of the bids submitted shows that one of the biggest players in the industry, Vision Group/LASIK MD, is offering its services at less than $600 per procedure.

“We don’t want to impugn anyone’s intentions, but we have to ask ourselves questions and ensure that the quality is good,” said Dr. Salim Lahoud, president of the ophthalmologists association, AMOQ.

Those amounts, whether in the public or private sector, do not include the doctors’ pay, which is covered by Quebec’s health insurance board (RAMQ).

Dr. Lahoud says he shared his concerns with the Health Ministry and the Federation of Medical Specialists of Quebec.

But Vision Group/LASIK MD president Dr. Mark Cohen denies offering below-cost prices for cataract surgeries.
