    Area of Science:

    • Health economics
    • Medical practice management
    • Healthcare policy

    Background:

    • Physicians determine medical care type and quantity.
    • Current cost-sharing models burden patients, not physicians.
    • Need for alternative cost-control strategies in healthcare.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose mechanisms for shifting cost burdens.
    • To identify excessively costly physicians.
    • To explore physician-centric cost-sharing models.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of cost-sharing mechanisms.
    • Analysis of physician billing and utilization data.
    • Development of proposed physician cost-burden frameworks.
