Physician, incorporate thyself
Article Abstract:
The decline of the general practitioner (GP) in Australia's primary health care system and a move toward a more corporate system are the results of the government's policy of attaining more efficient delivery of health care. Legislation has limited Medicare rebates to $7.6 billion over a three-year period, an increase of only 2%. The Practice Incentive Program (PIP) will offer practices up to $15,000 per GP to perform such non-fee-for-services as after-hours care and upgrading of computer systems.
