- Medicare tops member concerns
CAP members discussed health care policies and prepped for Tuesday's Hill Day visits during several meetings on today’s agenda.
"It's a strategic moment to shape legislation that benefits pathologists," said Council on Government and Professional Affairs Chair A. Joe Saad, MD, CPE, FCAP.
The big picture: Medicare payment reform is a concern because of the impact of inflation and rising costs on pathology practices.
- Dr. Saad said rising practice costs and tariffs on overseas supplies are significant challenges for pathologists.
- Panel members supported annual inflationary updates and adjustments to budget neutrality requirements.
Front page news: This morning, all congressional offices received the CAP's policy message in an advertisement wrapped around 2,700 copies of The Washington Post.
