SGR Cuts

[Anonymous]

Once again you show your superior intellect.
Why would anyone retype all that when you can just cut and paste?

Its a miracle!! All the cuts going on in medical the House now says lets give everyone a 1% raise for the next couple years. From Cardionet to Medtronic, we all get a raise for our services. Since they cant "cherry pick" codes they all go up 1%, even 93229!!!! I guess you have nothing to worry about now since no cuts and everything goes up 1%.


Speaking to a Ra-tard gives me a headache. I'm out!

then why even respond? Furthermore, the Senate has not passed it yet. More than likely they will. The responses from some of my colleagues now gives me a clear vision of why we have been in so much trouble. You are probably one of those who defended us paying physicians for the hook ups on MCOT, what's going on with that now? I will not even mention the other stuff that has happened. You are right, the increase or decrease, whatever it may be, will affect all the codes which apply to physicians ( services ) and IDTFs who bill within the same set of codes.

I may be mentally challenged but I am right and you are wrong. I bet you are just the pride and joy of your manager. I hope you are not in my division.

you are exactly right, the 93229 will go up about 1%, depending on if Highmark adjusts accordingly. All codes are impacted. The previous poster is correct. The increases and/or decreases impact all CPT codes. CPT does not have different categories based on whether you are an IDTF or physician group. They allow both parties to utilize.

You constant name calling indicates a feeling of insecurity about something. Your excessive use of the !!! also indicates a tendency be inadequate in some area of your job for you try to pronounce your authority on a subject matter which you really have a limited knowledge.

However, in you ill-fated attempt to prove someone wrong you actually provided a correct answer. Ironic.

I am amazed you think that with all the cuts they are going to do an across the board 1% increase. I just don't understand why the would call it "doc fix" if it actually "fixes" everyone. Why would congress keep saying "physician pay", when it effects companies? 1,000 pages of cpt codes all go up 1%? Just to let you know there is more in this world than your IDTF and physicians. I guess Christmas may come early for thousands and thousands of companies, hospitals, and physicians.
Wonder where they are going to get the money to pay Cardionet more, education? Maybe the money we save on the war will be sent right to Cardionet, lifewatch, and ecardio. Makes sense, I never thought of it that way, thanks for clarifying we all get 1%.
