Again, why being beholden to mpfs is NOT the path forward
This afternoon, @CMSGov finalized the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee schedule including the "efficiency adjustment". All non-time-based CPT codes (e.g, surgeries, procedures, radiology etc.) will have their wRVUs decreased by 2.5% starting January 1st. https://t.co/dEJGwn6Uwc

My name is actually Dr Anne Kroman. My father's name is James. He is very proud. However, he is not a physician and was not involved in the actual implant. I'm all for family inclusion, however sometimes us female physicians do get to do fun incredible things too!!

It’s important to know why Medicaid can actually be worse than no coverage. It all comes down to cash pay. It’s illegal for a doctor to offer a cash price to a Medicaid patient. (Medicare too for that matter). Meanwhile, Medicaid patients must wait months, sometimes years,

Now this bill is a great idea--require that Medicare Advantage (MA) plans comply w/ prompt payment requirements. State laws frequently have prompt payment laws but may also exclude "federal gov't programs" like MA. Bipartisan bill would require Medicare Advantage plans to

Literally every time I talk to Ryan Trojan I learn so much. So glad he could chat with me about his job :)
Could hospital employment be your path to practicing 100% VIR? In this episode of BackTable, host @bahetimd sits down with Dr. Ryan Trojan, an interventional radiologist at INTEGRIS Health in Oklahoma City, to discuss the pros and cons of hospital employment contracts in IR.

Occasionally I'll read something that is so contrary to my own perception that I'll find myself questioning reality. This American Hospital Association piece about 340B is one of those. This is a masterclass in gaslighting. Here the profiteers are masking themselves as

The death of private practice doesn’t just hurt small clinics. It hurts all doctors. Employed physicians lose leverage. The system tightens its grip. Burnout rises, autonomy vanishes. We’re frogs boiling slowly. Every doctor should fight to preserve independent, physician-led
🚨 New AMA data confirms it: fewer than half of U.S. physicians are now in private practice. Just 42.2% in 2024, down from 60.1% in 2012. Let’s unpack the trends, what’s driving the decline, and why it matters for physicians & patients 🧵

So when physicians LEAD hospitals, hospitals perform better. Guess what else is true…. When physicians control the board room, hospitals perform better as well. Let’s end the silliness of blocking doctors from owning hospitals. Repeal Section 6001. https://t.co/Vm78F07Ttf
