Relevant NPR article a couple days ago about the medicare pay boost that is due to end soon. In 2012 170,00 PCPs received an average medical bonus of $3,938.
According to the article it seems though that the majority of PCPs did not use or were unaware of the bonus reimbursement.
"Only a quarter of those surveyed said they received a bonus payment; half didn't know the program existed.
Of physicians who were aware of and received Medicare bonus payments, 37 percent said it made a small difference in their ability to serve their Medicare patients, and 5 percent said it made a big difference. However, nearly half—48 percent—said it made no difference at all."
