The Obama administration wants to dramatically change how doctors are paid
From the Washington Post, January 26, 2015
The Obama administration on Monday announced an ambitious goal to overhaul the way doctors are paid, tying their fees more closely to the quality of care rather than the quantity.
Rather than pay more money to Medicare doctors simply for every procedure they perform, the government will also evaluate whether patients are healthier, among other measures. The goal is for half of all Medicare payments to be handled this way by 2018.
Monday’s announcement marks the administration’s biggest effort yet to shape how doctors are compensated across the health-care system. As the country’s largest payer of health-care services, Medicare influences medical care generally, meaning the changes being initiated by the administration will likely be felt in doctor’s offices and hospitals across the country.
