Robert Wergin, M.D., president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, sees the light at the end of the tunnel regarding compensation of family physicians. Among his remarks to MedScape:

“With the passage of the Medicare Access and Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, payment for services provided in an alternative payment model such as the patient-centered medical home will become more prominent. As that occurs, primary care physicians  {such as family physicians} will see improved income because the services they provide are more appropriately valued under such a system.”
