That's an interesting question. Here are some answers:
> Medicare physician payment has decreased by 26% since 2001. Additionally, a recent Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that physician reimbursement per Medicare patient decreased 2.3% between 2005 and 2021 when accounting for inflation. And this was despite a 45.5% increase in physician services to each patient. Again, less pay and more work.

- cyberax 2y agoIt's even worse in the non-Medicare world. There's a reason hospitals are getting rapidly bought out by the private equity. And to give some context, UnitedHealthcare has a payday service. For doctors. To help them borrow against future claim reimbursements. At the 35% rate. Nice, ain't it?
