Read moreU.S. Senate Committee on Finance Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-ID), recently released a white paper, Bolstering Chronic Care through Physician Payment: Current Challenges and Policy Options in Medicare Part B related to Medicare physician payment reform. Their paper outlines areas of interest the committee views as an opportunity for reform. These include:
The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) asserts that year-over-year, statutorily-mandated cuts to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule demonstrate the Medicare payment system is broken and a permanent fix is urgently necessary. ACR is encouraged that the committee is taking thoughtful steps toward payment reform and will provide feedback on the white paper to the committee.
