Abstract

Family medicine is financially undervalued compared with other medical specialties, and reimbursement fails to recognize the valuable longitudinal care provided to patients. According to one estimate, a primary care physician earns approximately $80,000 less than a subspecialist peer in Medicare reimbursement over a one-year period.1 This gap persists despite primary care physicians addressing higher numbers of medical concerns during office visits. To address continuity, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services created the G2211 code in 2019 to compensate for the "visit complexity inherent to evaluation and management associated with medical care services."2 The G2211 code was implemented in January 2024.

连续性很重要：G2211 代码对初级保健的财务影响。

与其他医学专科相比，全科医学在经济上的价值被低估了，报销未能承认为患者提供的宝贵的纵向护理。据估计，在一年的医疗保险报销中，全科医师比亚专科医生少赚约 8 万美元。1 尽管全科医师在出诊时要解决更多的医疗问题，但这种差距依然存在。为解决连续性问题，医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心于 2019 年创建了 G2211 代码，以补偿 "与医疗保健服务相关的评估和管理固有的就诊复杂性 "2。

期刊介绍： American Family Physician is a semimonthly, editorially independent, peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Family Physicians. AFP’s chief objective is to provide high-quality continuing medical education for more than 190,000 family physicians and other primary care clinicians. The editors prefer original articles from experienced clinicians who write succinct, evidence-based, authoritative clinical reviews that will assist family physicians in patient care. AFP considers only manuscripts that are original, have not been published previously, and are not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Articles that demonstrate a family medicine perspective on and approach to a common clinical condition are particularly desirable.
