Hi there,
I am doing some research on health topics in the US and I am struggling to understand how hospital doctors are paid. It would be fantastic if somebody would take the time to help me a bit!
So if a Medicare patient is treated as an inpatient in a hospital, I understand that the hospital bills Medicare for the appropriate DRG.
Do I get it correctly that most doctors working in hospitals are not employees but they would separately bill Medicare for each service?
And how would it work if it weren't a Medicare patient?
Thank you!!
