The Physician Payment Review Commission in 1992 directly increased financial
u u u u u u u u u
reimbursement to clinicians who provide primary care. Coupled with a shortage of
u u u u u u u u u u u u
primary care providers, this incentive led medical schools to place greater emphasis on
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
preparing primary care physicians. Competition from nonphysicians increased
u u u u u u u u
coincidentally as professionals from other disciplines stepped up to meet the needs.
u u u u u u u u u u u u
Nonphysicians have had increasing success at providing primary care and have been
u u u u u u u u u u u
shown to be safe and effective.
