Medicare-Medicaid reimbursement policies: report of a study conducted by the Institute of Medicine.

On contract with the Social Security Administration, a special steering committee of the institute of Medicine was appointed to (1) study and report on equitable methods of reimbursement for physician's services under Titles 18 and 19 in teaching hospitals; (2) determine to what extent funds from the act are supporting training in specialties in excess supply; (3) determine how funds could be expended to support a more rational distribution of physician manpower both geographically and by specialty; (4) determine the extent these federal funds are being used to encourage teaching programs attracting disproportionate numbers of foreign medical graduates; and (5) determine the extent to which these funds are expended to meet the salaries of interns and residents. Ninety-six hospitals were field studied and 1,400 hospitals studied by questionnaire. These studies have now been completed and reports forwarded to Congress, the Health, Education and Welfare Department (HEW), and the Social Security Administration.
