Physicians And Other Health Professionals

Physicians and Other Health Professionals

Physicians and other health professionals (such as nurses, physician assistants, chiropractors, physical therapists, and a range of other practitioners) provide care for Medicare’s beneficiaries. They provide and perform a broad range of services, including office visits, surgical procedures, and a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic services. The Commission analyzes trends in care and spending on services provided by these professionals and makes recommendations to the Congress and the Medicare program.
