Abstract:
Resource-based relative value scales (RBRVS) have altered the outpatient reimbursement system of America's health care system and established a method of standardization whereby the efficiency of medical practices of varying size and complexity can be compared using a standard (the cost conversion factor) for analysis. This article compares the utility of RBRVS with earlier systems of reimbursement and concludes with a brief speculative assertion regarding the emergence of the next stage of ambulatory care reimbursements through ambulatory payment classifications.
