In the Patient Story (Section 4.2) it was noted that the PCP performs a large amount of activity, including looking for more cost-effective medications. I would include in the Assumptions that the PCP is provided the time and the reimbursement for all of these activities. This visit I suspect would take about 1/2 hour and appropriate coding to ensure proper reimbursement is vital, lest the PCP ends up not able to maintain her practice.
