Dr. Steven P. Furr, President of the American Academy of Family Physicians, reflects on his 39-year experience as a family physician in Jackson, Alabama. He highlights the importance of the patient-physician relationship in primary care and the new add-on code G2211 for Medicare patient visits, emphasizing the uniqueness of primary care physicians’ involvement in their patients’ lives. He expresses his passion for treating people rather than organ systems or diseases and the impact that such relationships have had on his career, concluding that, with everything he knows now, he would not hesitate to make the same decision again.
