Abstract
Physician reimbursement is in a turbulent time. In 2013 and 2014 we have seen an increased public scrutiny of how Medicare sets reimbursement rates and questions about the American Medical Association's Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC). The AGA board requested that two members knowledgeable about the RUC process and related policies help members understand the RUC and how it impacts our field.
