Washington Update: Where Are We and Where Are We Headed?

Bill Finerfrock, President, Capitol Associates, and Director of Government Affairs, HBMA
SGR is what everyone is talking about, but what does Congress have in store as a replacement for SGR and how will this affect Medicare payments and processes? Is Washington just looking to change the way Medicare pays or are the Medicare reforms just a precursor of what you can expect to see from commercial insurers? What other policy changes are being contemplated or proposed in Washington and how might these affect you and your clients?

Objectives:

  • Explore SGR/Payment Reform
  • Examine sequestration and future implications
  • Review ICD-10 testing and implementation timeline
  • Discuss Medicare Physician Fee Schedule
