Physician and Hospital Reimbursement, from “Lodge Medicine” to MIPS
Physician reimbursement and hospital reimbursement methods have evolved in profound ways over the decades, thanks to a number of wide-reaching trends like the current drive for legislative healthcare reform, and understanding the nature of these shifting patterns is essential to effective healthcare delivery today.
