Physician services: income projection (PSIP) under Medicare reform.
By now, every administrator in America is well aware of the resource-based relative value scale (RBRVS) now being used for physician reimbursement. Unfortunately, many administrators are unable to predict its effects on their organization. It was for this reason, writes Mary Jo Hartwell, that the Center for Research in Ambulatory Health Care Administration developed software in 1990 to help physicians and administrators determine the potential impact of RBRVS on their group.
