Finance Urged Not To Leave Scraps Of Physician Fee-For-Service Pay Model


Finance Urged Not To Leave Scraps Of Physician Fee-For-Service Pay Model-insidehealthpolicy: Witnesses emphasized to Senate Finance members on Tuesday (May 14) that Congress should entirely do away with fee-for-service Medicare for physician reimbursement after the committee sent a letter to providers stating that some physicians may always need fee-for-service. A Finance staffer said committee members have not decided whether to cut fee-for-service pay for those who remain in that system, as is the plan in the House.
