Following the money: copy-paste of lifestyle counseling documentation and provider billing.
To find out whether copied documentation of lifestyle counseling was used to justify higher evaluation and management (E&M) charges, researchers investigated 12,527 patient encounters in which lifestyle counseling was documented. When time spent on counseling was recorded, copied lifestyle counseling was associated with a decrease of 70.5% in the odds of higher E&M charges.

Aligning provider incentives to improve primary healthcare delivery in the United States.
This critical review uses a theoretical framework from game-theory models to discuss some of the dominant primary care provider payment models and how they create 'prisoner's dilemmas' that have stalled past reform efforts, then illustrates an escape from the dilemma. It concludes that a blend of guaranteed payment and selective incentives designed to encourage primary care providers to deliver high quality care, efficient and equitable care and to eliminate incentives towards over-servicing could reach outcomes leading to shared benefits for everyone involved.
