Paying for physician services under Medicare and Medicaid

Abstract
Public systems for physician reimbursement aim to reconcile two disparate objectives: ensuring availability of services to the poor and aged; and keeping rates of cost increase within acceptable limits. Several interesting--and unorthodox--policy simulations of physician pricing behavior are investigated through econometric estimation. Current arrangement for paying physicians are fraught with difficulties. The objectives of Medicare and Medicaid are not well served.
