This is such an interesting article in light of another recent suit in which primary care docs are suing about the use of RBRVS saying that it unfairly rewards specialty-based medicine, where procedures are common. I compare actual RBRVS figures uses SpeedECoder (http://www.speedecoder.com), online coding software. Here specialty-based medicine is arguing that RBRVS isn’t flexible enough (interestingly after the state saved $100 million from its implementation). I’d read this to be congruous with the statement by Ken Stoller that it could lead to overutilization and increased costs.
