| Summary: | Congress continues to debate the appropriate update to physician fees under Medicare’s sustainable growth rate (SGR) methodology. Increasingly, information about physician income and differences in income across specialties has entered into these discussions. A variety of factors that affect a medical practice’s revenues and expenses contribute to physician specialty compensation differences. This small group meeting provided information on these factors. Data on income disparities and their sources across physicians who practice in large groups were presented, with comments by physician practice managers. | ||
