AVERAGES--by Richard Willner, DPM (no login)Stu Pod, Do you think that Congress approved each specific code for every city and region in the USA? Do you know if this is "across the board" increase or an average with the rules undetermined at this time or not disclosed? Also, these aer "TARGETS", as even a one percent dfference is Billions of dollars It is a fact that the actuarials have determined that Medicare Part B is paying out much faster than the money is coming in and it will be solvant for a certain period of time -- whatever it is, I don't recall at this moment. Yes, Medicare reimbursements are coming down for Medical Doctors and for Podiatrists, regardless of the "fact" of this very small increase. As this fiscal year passes, even you will discover it. This is a fact, Stu Pod. This is not reflecting on the "negativity" or "gloom". Medicare reimbursements are coming down and along with them are Managed Care fees as they are a percentage of Medicare fees. I invite you to email me personally at LEGAL@PeerReview.org or call me at 504-621-1670 and I will give you a 2 decade perspective on Medicare Financing. Looking foward to your call or letter.
