Dr. Wes: Economic Implications of Medicare's Rule Change for EP's

Dr. Wes (cardiologist and internist) has done some homework..recommended reading for all...BD

I just got back from a meeting with our business manager and I'm depressed.
We did some homework regarding the implications of the new Medicare payment rules for our procedure codes no longer being exempt from the "51 modifier" as I mentioned before.
Well, it's huge.
10:46 CST - Addendum: Oh, I forgot: this revenue cut does not include CMS's already-threatened 10.1% physician revenue cuts. Could this mean nearly 30% cut in EP's revenue? If so, the implications for our senior citizens could be profound.
