摘要

Statement of the problem. This project determined the impact that a physician's practice setting and payment method has on his or her practice behavior. It also examined the possible existence of supplier-induced demand.;Methods. Using the framework of the Utility Maximization Theory, the hypotheses were tested in this cross-sectional study by comparing physicians in Germany in three organizational arrangements differing in practice setting and payment method. A series of multivariate-regressions were conducted controlling for physician, patient and practice characteristics. The primary data source was an original questionnaire that sampled physicians practicing in the state of Brandenburg, Germany.;Results. Physicians paid on a fee-for-service basis were found to differ on measures of utilization and time allocation from physicians paid a salary. No variables were found to differ significantly between group and solo physicians. Group physicians paid on a fee-for-service basis behaved more similarly to solo practitioners than their group colleagues paid a salary on the factors measured.;Support for the supplier-induced theory was found in the regressions for the number of visits. Fee-for-service, solo providers saw 82 more patients per week than salaried, group physicians. Fee-for-service providers are also more inclined to make house calls and see the same patients more often.;Additionally, a fee-for-service payment system was shown to significantly increase the hours that a physician spent practicing medicine, 54 hours per week versus salaried, group physicians who averaged 41 hours per week. This result was repeated when time allocation decisions were analyzed, including the number of hours spent in direct contact with patients, hours spent in administrative duties as well as hours spent on other medically related activities.;Conclusions. This research found support for the supplier-induced demand theory. A fee-for-service payment method, when compared to a salary payment method, was found to encourage doctors to work longer hours and increase the number of patient visits, including follow-up visits, while a group practice setting demonstrated little impact over a solo practice within the German context.
