How can I tell if a managed care rate covers my costs?
Article Abstract:
Reimbursement rates and changes in current procedural terminology codes are key concerns for physicians. Doctors should compare the average reimbursement rates for office procedures with fee-for-service reimbursements to determine whether profit margins are being maintained. Doctors should also investigate changes in evaluation and management codes, within their speciality, to determine whether they affect office practices.
