Abstract

All compensation arrangements contain incentives. Fee-for-service encourages physicians to render excessive services: capitation does the opposite. The federal government has published regulations that govern managed care organizations' physician incentive plans. Most health plans already comply with the new requirements.

Guidelines for guidelines.

Practice guidelines are proliferating in medicine. In addition to methodological problems that cause guidelines to be outdated rapidly, they are plagued by conflicts of interest. They are largely consensus opinions of panels of experts, most of whom are supported by industry. Professional societies, health insurers, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and dialysis providers also benefit from guidelines. Little attention is paid to the potential for harm to patients, and to the profession of medicine, from the widespread use of guidelines.
