  • Title: Plans' execs mixed on impact of fee schedule.
    Author: Kenkel PJ.
    Journal: Mod Healthc; 1991 Jul 15; 21(28):49-50. PubMed ID: 10111837.
    Abstract:
    With Medicare's physician fee schedule set to begin phasing in this January, executives at healthcare plans and medical groups are mixed on the impact of the plan. Because the schedule will lower fees for specialists and raise payments to primary-care providers, many healthcare managers are concerned about cost shifting. Others expect the schedule to have a minimal effect on fees because many prepaid plans already have resource-based payment methodologies.
