Groupon jumps from Dental and Chiropractic to General Medical Practice deals.

OK, so I’ve seen the dental and chiropractic deals.  But now Groupon has offered something much more mainstream medical as a deal.

Again, my interpretation is that Groupon is fee splitting and in NY state that jeopardizes both the doctor and the fee recipient (Groupon who collects the fee).  My email inbox showed a link to: http://www.groupon.com/deals/amg-medical-group-2

Like a driving exam, a physical exam ensures bodies are properly responding to their environment and have developed quick reflexes when pelted with deer. Make sure your body is in tiptop shape with this Groupon: for $59, you get a new-patient checkup at AMG Medical Group (a $200 value). This offer is valid at locations in Manhattan,Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The checkup includes:

  • A complete physical exam, including medical history (a $150 value)
  • Blood sugar, cholesterol, stool, and urinalysis tests (a $50 value)
