Health Policy Events
The centerpiece of the Health Affairs Journal Club meeting in June is, “Frequency Of Indirect Billing To Medicare For Nurse Practitioner And Physician Assistant Office Visits,” which examines how the widespread use of indirect billing for the services of physician assistants (PA) and nurse practitioners (NP) has resulted in an undercount of these providers in the health care system.

The authors of the study—including Sadiq Patel, a research fellow at Harvard’s Blavatnik Institute for Health Care Policy, who will present the paper—devised a new way to measure indirect billing using prescriptions that yields important insights into the role these providers play in caring for Medicare enrollees.

Please join Dr. Patel on June 16 for a detailed discussion of the paper’s data, methods, and policy conclusions. Health Affairs Executive Editor Don Metz will host.

Date: Thursday, June 16, 2022
Time: 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. (Eastern)
