Physician Compensation Update: What Providers Need to Know

Overview:

In this session Mr. Wolfe will provide an overview of key developments in physician compensation in 2020.

Why you should Attend: It has been a whirlwind year for physician compensation in the U.S. Since last year, the government has issued new proposed Stark and Anti-Kickback rules, declared a public health emergency, paused elective procedures and issued Stark blanket waivers to assist providers in their response to the pandemic.

At the same time, the federal, state and local governments have all issued numerous guidelines, directives and waivers that have directly and indirectly impacted physician compensation. Going forward, key changes to the allocation of wRVUs under the proposed 2021 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) could have a major impact on physician compensation.
