Book Description
Under current policy, Medicare reimburses for physician services according to a fee schedule that differentiates payment levels for physicians according to their experience. However, experience salaried physicians who have not previously billed for Medicare services are reimbursed as "new" physicians when they first begin treating those covered by Medicare. By examining experience differentials in physician fees and wages in other settings and the reimbursement practices of private insurers, this report provides evidence suggesting that the present Medicare fee schedule is likely to discourage new physicians from treating Medicare patients.

Book Description
It has been proposed that Medicare pay for inpatient physicians' services on a per-case basis, giving physicians an incentive to economize on services delivered in the hospital. This report outlines the design of a possible demonstration of a system of per-case payment and considers the following key issues in developing such a design: (1) selecting the options most attractive to demonstrate, (2) participation in the demonstration, (3) setting payment rates, (4) site selection, and (5) evaluation of the demonstration. The demonstration would seek to determine how alternative methods of paying physicians would affect costs, beneficiary access and financial liability, and health status outcomes or quality of care.
