The Medicare cuts start 4/1/2025

[Crepitus]

YOu guys ready?

First to go is telehealth visits.

I'm not sure how that's gonna save money. I mean sure, they can cut the program but those people still need care, so they will need facilities to handle more in person visits. I can't see that being cheaper than telehealth visits.

Anyway, you can be sure this is just the opening salvo.

People will live without telephone health care.

What is the lifesaving illnesses you think a phone call cures

 

[Meister]

How in hell did people ever use Medicare prior to telehealth?

Wait, this sounds more and more like the liberals fear mongering tactic.

From your source, "While some Medicare telehealth services will still be available after April 1st, including services related to strokes and mental/behavioral health, the cuts are expected to limit broader access for millions of people in America."

Doesn't sound like things are etched in stone.

Trump doesn't run the House:

The cut is included in the $880 billion Medicaid budget plan ordered by the legislative House Budget Committee, a federal organization responsible for annual budget resolutions and reviewing any budget requests proposed by the president.

Did Rump do it?

Honestly I think Telehealth should remain. My grandfather had dementia, heart issues and diabetes. It was nearly impossible to take him to a physician. Telehealth coupled with his nurse practitioner saved him until his problems forced us to make the decision for a facility.

I'll add he was in a rural area. Telehealth certainly helped

That's the best you can complain about, telehealth?

The idea is that Americans won’t be accessing healthcare at all – neither tele-visits nor in-person care, thus saving money.

Another example of how reprehensible and wrong Republicans truly are.

CMS takes AMA advice​

In the payment schedule, CMS announced that it will continue its delay in implementing new Medicare Economic Index weights until it receives information from the AMA’s Physician Practice Information survey (PPI).

The AMA has advocated for CMS to defer changes until the survey results are analyzed.

“The AMA agrees that CMS should allow for the review of data from the PPI Survey before implementing re-weighting that would result in significant redistribution within physician payment,” AMA Executive Vice President and CEO James L. Madara, MD, wrote in a Sept. 5 letter (PDF) commenting on CMS payment schedule proposals. “The PPI Survey (PDF), which closed Aug. 31, 2024, collected information on physician and other health care professional compensation, practice costs, and direct patient care hours worked.”

The letter noted that the AMA, working with the Mathematica research firm, will analyze the data and share information with CMS in early 2025.

Inside the final 2025 Medicare physician payment schedule

Congress failed to stop a fifth consecutive Medicare pay cut, but on telehealth, equity and more, CMS heeds physicians’ advice.

The AMA recommended it to CMS.....

person: "I have a medical issue."
telehealth: "See your healthcare provider".

OMG, do you all understand that they must pay these GASLIGHTERS more than we ever knew! They get their talking points, come here to a very small site, then spew the Leftist nonsensical, bullshi**!

As usual, we see that the Left doesn't do good business, because if they did, there is no way in he** they would pay these LEFTIST WANNABEES anything for posting here, and the LEFTIST WANNABEES, would head for more profitable pastures.

Here is something you CONSERVATIVES need know---------->it is painfully obvious that DOGE has NOT yet gotten far enough into the Lefts phony finances.

How do we know this?

Because if they had, we wouldn't be hearing much from the phony Leftists and their socks, as the cash train would be cut off.

Yes, we do have some Democrats here, and we have at the very least, 1 Forward....Ho-Ho-Ho.

You DO realize, that if DOGE finds and cuts off their funds, you will no longer have anyone to debate, lol! They will be looking for WELFARE-)

They don't provide a link to where they get the information.

Telehealth will still be available to the elderly, disabled or immune compromised.

1. Is Telehealth worth its cost?

2. Can we afford it without borrowing more money?
