dc.description.abstractLately, many physicians have been saying they've become disillusioned with the RBRVS. They don't believe the physician payment reform will bring gains for their undervalued evaluation and management services. They don't trust the federal government to live up to its end of the bargain. However, no one should write off the RBRVS. As can be seen from the text below, RBRVS will protect undervalued evaluation and management services in an era of medicare budget-cutting; it will introduce fairness and rationality into the Medicare payment system; it will provide a basis for arguing against unfair cuts in reimbursement (such as the recent ban on payment for most EKG interpretations) and it will bring the profession together to fight against any further cuts in the Medicare program.
