Medicare Physician Fee Schedule - AAGP urges Congress to replace the current Medicare reimbursement formula with one that more accurately reflects the volume and intensity of services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries and to take action to avert future cuts in Medicare payments to physicians and other health care providers.
