John Schurrer is a health researcher with expertise in quality and resource use measurement, propensity-score matching, value-based modifiers, and adapting third-party measure specifications for use with Medicare and Medicaid claims data.
Schurrer joined Mathematica in 2009. His research has focused primarily on measure implementation and physician feedback projects. His work includes the development of resource use reports for Medicare fee-for-service claims. He is currently a task leader for a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services project to develop Medicare physician fee schedule payment modifiers and the continued production of confidential physician feedback reports.
