ACP CEO joins National Commission on Physician Payment Reform

Dr. Steven Weinberger, executive vice president and CEO of ACP, has been appointed to the National Commission on Physician Payment Reform, an independent commission that will assess how physicians are paid and how pay incentives are linked to patient care. The commission, sponsored by the Society of General Internal Medicine, is composed of physician and non-physician leaders in health care delivery, health policy, and health care economics. As a member of the commission, Dr. Weinberger will join others in offering a wide range of perspectives in efforts to provide a road map of cost-conscious payment changes that will help rein in health care spending while optimizing patient care.
