Abstract
Medicare's system of paying physicians is criticized as being costly, inflationary , inefficient, inequitable , and confusing. Yet when alternative methods--to change practice arrangements, units of service, fee levels, and the assignment option--are examined, no one seems ideal. A fee-for-service system combined with a prospective payment schedule may offer the best compromise.
