Total knee arthroplasty reimbursement is declining overall and at a marginally faster rate amongst female orthopaedic surgeons: A Medicare analysis
Female representation among surgeons who perform TKAs is increasing nationally. However, male surgeons treat more patients, perform more total billable services, and perform more unique billable services than female surgeons. TKA reimbursement is decreasing at a faster rate for female surgeons than male surgeons, although this is likely due to geographical differences.
