Recently did a peer to peer review where I spent a significant amount of time educating the reviewer, who did not practice in my specialty, about basic knowledge that any fellowship trained provider would know. I am helping this peer to peer reviewer understand my specialty and feel that I should be paid for that education as it takes significant time away from my day doing other clinical activities. I am essentially providing the training that the reviewer's employer (the insurance company) should have done.
Can we as physicians (and other practitioners like NPs and PAs) band together and start a petition to legislate that we be paid for each instance of educating a peer to peer reviewer and make it into law? I think $100 per education topic, adjusted yearly for inflation would be reasonable.
