Inflation-based update for Medicare physician payments with Todd Askew
AMA Senior Vice President of Advocacy, Todd Askew, shares details on legislative progress for Medicare payment reform and what it could mean for physicians and patient access to care. Get the latest updates on legislation recently introduced in Congress that would apply an automatic inflation update to Medicare physician payments and tie the Medicare physician fee schedule to the Medicare Economic Index (MEI), something the AMA has long supported. Doing so would put physicians on equal footing with almost all other health care providers that receive annual inflation-based updates. American Medical Association CXO Todd Unger hosts.
