At #EHR in-box conf., Maria Byron describes @UCSFHospitals experience creating option to turn electronic queries that take >5 min into billable “Medical Advice Message.” Generally ok w/ patients & popular with clinicians. Small co-pay for some pts. Overall positive intervention.

Likely not because APM are value based and therefore paid on outcomes while this type of monetization is required in FFS because otherwise there would be no first F in the FFS…
