Lost opportunity. Fairly assigning value to physician administrative services

Healthc Financ Manage. 2015 May;69(5):46-8.

Abstract

The Resource-Based Relative Value System sets values for physician services that can be used to estimate the value of time spent on administrative tasks. This methodology assigns an appropriate place-of-service qualifier and the appropriate percentage of Medicare rates to the time being spent on administrative tasks. A variation of this methodology allows for a rate to be determined for an entire physician group or specialty.
