To constrain growth in spending for physician services, Medicare implemented volume performance standards (VPS) in 1990 and incorporated them into the Medicare physician fee schedule in 1992. The VPS rewards or penalizes physicians and other professionals for changes in aggregate per capita utilization that occurred two years earlier. Since volume in 1994 and 1995 grew faster than specified targets, there was a penalty in the 1996 and 1997 payment rates. Since 1986 growth in the elderly population age sixty-five and older has been decelerating. Annual growth in 1997 slowed by two-tenths of a percentage point over 1996 growth. However, that trend is expected to reverse by 2000.
