Current Relative Value Scale Methodology Underestimates Perioperative Workload in Hip Arthroscopy
It is important to determine whether the amount surgeons are reimbursed for certain procedures, such as hip arthroscopy, is an accurate reflection of actual cost. Discrepancies between reimbursement and actual costs can influence the financial viability of offering such procedures, impacting access to care, procedural volume, and potentially long-term outcomes, particularly as health care systems move toward value-based reimbursement models.
