Outpatient Dermatology Productivity Measures by Patient Race, Sex, and Age
This study found that after the 2021 Medicare fee schedule updates, there was a persistent, albeit reduced, gap between wRVU productivity in outpatient dermatology visits for Asian and Black compared with White patients. These persisting differences were attributable to skin biopsies and cryotherapy of premalignant lesions.
