Podiatry Fees Too High

by Dr Smith (no login)

 
Stu pod, who is a 4th year student, has opined that the Podiatry fees are too high. While I do not agree with him, I do respect him. So, with that in mind, I will do my civic duity and write to my Senators and Congressmen as well as to Medicare and demand that the fees be reduced for the good of our Medicare Trust Fund.

I will ask for every other Podiatrist to join me and demand lower medicare reimbursements.

I will demand that medicare demands more documentation and paperwork from podiatrists.

I will demand more Fraud and Abuse investigations for the cutting of toenails. I mean, after all, there is a big difference between cutting 3 or 4 toenails, and on which foot, with what class findings, and what instument you use, and which hand you cut the nails with.

I will demand that Medicare investigate and document the quality of the social non-professional communication that is exchanged. I want medicare to know how many photographs of the patients grandchildren did we observe and study.
