- Title
Payment reform: It's time to get real!
- Authors
Susman, Jeff
- Abstract
The author reflects on the issue of reform in the value and payment for primary care services by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in the U.S. He asserts that the move of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) to tackle modifications on the relative value scale (RVS) and relative value update committee (RUC) of the American Medical Association deserves an applaud. He suggests that the AAFP should demand real payment reform for primary care physicians.
