Annie Brewster: “To begin, our medical reimbursement system must be restructured. Our payment system values invasive treatments and procedures over time spent talking with your doctor. We need to reset these compensation levels to favor communication, care coordination, disease prevention, and chronic disease management. Doctors should be rewarded for keeping patients well. Incentives should be based on quality outcomes and efficient resource use, not on patient volume.”
