Description
Examines changes authorized by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) to the Resource-Based Relative Value Scale (RBRVS) system aimed at increasing primary care physician personal income and reducing geographic variation in primary care payment. Looks at ACA-authorized primary care payment adjustments in a prototypical rural primary care practice to assess the potential impact on physician personal income and the likelihood that the changes will achieve the desired policy outcome.
