What Are Specialty Physicians Doing About Medicare?
As you know, Medicare reimbursement to physicians continues to be in jeopardy since Congress has enacted three temporary measures to prevent a scheduled 21.3 cut and needs to act again to prevent this cut from being implemented. In an effort to better understand the implications for Medicare beneficiaries should this 21.3 percent cut go into effect, the Alliance of Specialty Medicine, of which AGA is a member, is conducting a brief survey on specialists’ plans for Medicare participation. The survey, which is designed to help determine how these threatened pay cuts and instability in the program are affecting specialty physicians, will guide the alliance’s messages regarding Medicare’s current physician payment formula. Please participate in this brief survey to ensure gastroenterology is included in the results. The survey needs to be completed by June 30. Should you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Teixeira at kteixeira@gastro.org. Thank you for helping us make a difference
