Hi Richard (and Others),

We are investigating how independent labs can cooperate to lower costs
and pool certain resources to mutually benefit from our strengths and
meet common needs.  If you are interested, we'd like to discuss in
greater detail.

Best and Happy New Year to All,

Hello:
You stated 88305TC starting to hit the fan... Would you care to explain some 
of the details with us. I work in a private GI lab which contracts our 
pathology PC mortion to local pathologists.  One of which is our medical 
director, as well as the medical director for a local community hospital.  They 
come to our facility to do the microscopic portion of their work.

 Because there is a huge shortage of primary care docs as it is, which will
 only get worse when millions of uninsured people suddenly have insurance.
  So I guess they are trying to entice more med students into primary care.
  There is a push to train more physician's assistants too
 
 As it is, the top medical students want to go into something like radiology
 or dermatology so they can work banker's hours and make 5x as much money as
 a PCHP, and who can blame them?
 
 I friend of mine who is a radiology tech saw a locum radiologist's pay stub
 left on the fax machine (by accident), and said radiologist makes $280./hr.

have been the frontline of medicine, all the while earning less than a

Too many specialists earn over a million a year, while the family

RE: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...

2012-11-20 Thread Hermina Borgerink
Thank you René. Couldn't agree more. As a Stage 3C ovarian cancer patient, I 
would be bankrupt right now if not for insurance.  I've been on/off 
chemotherapy for the past five years, and at nearly $4,000.00 a treatment, not 
to mention nearly $200,000.00 in surgery costs ... The monthly cost of 
insurance pales in comparison to the cost of a catastrophic illness.

 Because there is a huge shortage of primary care docs as it is, which will
 only get worse when millions of uninsured people suddenly have insurance.
  So I guess they are trying to entice more med students into primary care.
  There is a push to train more physician's assistants too
 
 As it is, the top medical students want to go into something like radiology
 or dermatology so they can work banker's hours and make 5x as much money as
 a PCHP, and who can blame them?
 
 I friend of mine who is a radiology tech saw a locum radiologist's pay stub
 left on the fax machine (by accident), and said radiologist makes $280./hr.

There are caps on what folks must pay, folks... please read the law. There are 
many good things about the new law.

Also realize that all of the changes we're facing are not part of Obamacare. 
The Grandfather clause has been ending for years. Congress finally let it this 
year.

Something had to change and change is hard. Let's work together with our 
Congress to adjust what needs to be adjusted as needed. Maybe they will begin 
to work together if we demand it.

Happy Thanksgiving - we still have much to be thankful for!!

There are caps on what folks must pay, folks... please read the law. There are 
many good things about the new law.

Also realize that all of the changes we're facing are not part of Obamacare. 
The Grandfather clause has been ending for years. Congress finally let it this 
year.

Something had to change and change is hard. Let's work together with our 
Congress to adjust what needs to be adjusted as needed. Maybe they will begin 
to work together if we demand it.

Happy Thanksgiving - we still have much to be thankful for!!

RE: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...

2012-11-20 Thread Joe W. Walker, Jr.
Let's be a little factual.  The discussion to cut 88305 has been going on for 
years, even before the Accountable Care Act was passed.  Lab fees (TC) and 
professional fees (PC) in general have been under the gun for cuts year after 
year.  Health care is changing due to the unsustainable costs associated with 
providing services.  The ACA did give the government a reason to take a hard 
look at many of the codes.  88305 hadn't been evaluated closely since 1999.  It 
is debatable as to what data was used to develop a cost analysis for the work 
done to determine the cuts.

88305 is being cut by 51.7% on the TC side.  Interestingly, the PC(26) side is 
being increased by 1.9%.  Likewise, 88300 is being but 57.1%, 88302 is being 
cut 51% and 88304 is being cut 34.7%.  All of them have slight increases for 
the PC side.

RE: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...

2012-11-20 Thread Weems, Joyce K.
CAP has a webinar on the web site that explains all this pretty well. Seems 
like the reimbursement was increased for 88307 and 88309, so that the overall 
decrease is 6% if I understood correctly. I need to meditate on it a bit. 

The problem with the 88305 code is that clinicians have taken it away from 
pathologists... I've been harping for years.. prostates being the biggest 
culprit for price increase. Shame, shame, shame - in Gomer Pyle speak.. !! :)

The law provides economic assistance to those with low income who cannot afford

Histonet should stay free of those entanglements(political opinions)

Hmmm...I think more people should have paid attention to Obamacare two years 
ago when it was being shoved down eveyones throat. Oh well.. as old saying 
goes...You ain't seen nottin' yet! I'm just amazed that there are so many in 
the profession who are surprised about the changes beginning to take place, 
there are many, many more to come in 2013  14 and all of them affect your job 
or lack thereof. :)
 
Everyone had the opportunity to change things on November 6th - they chose not 
to. So, you live with it.
 
Yours,

While this stinks on many levels, I have to take issue with the shift wealth 
from specialists to family practice - family practice docs have been the 
frontline of medicine, all the while earning less than a quarter of what 
specialists earn. It's about time they get a boost.
Too many specialists earn over a million a year, while the family practice 
guys/ladies can barely pay their student loans.

Because there is a huge shortage of primary care docs as it is, which will
only get worse when millions of uninsured people suddenly have insurance.
 So I guess they are trying to entice more med students into primary care.
 There is a push to train more physician's assistants too

As it is, the top medical students want to go into something like radiology
or dermatology so they can work banker's hours and make 5x as much money as
a PCHP, and who can blame them?

I friend of mine who is a radiology tech saw a locum radiologist's pay stub
left on the fax machine (by accident), and said radiologist makes $280./hr.

Re: [Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...

2012-11-19 Thread Paula Sicurello
Sure they want more physicians.  My husband was forced to leave
medical school when he became sick (they wouldn't give him a medical
leave of absence).  No other medical school would touch him after
that.  They thought something was fishy, his transcript reads medical
leave of absence which wasn't true.  The other shcools can't figure
out why the school he was in wouldn't take him back.  If he wanted to
retake the MCAT and apply cold, they told him he could do that.

Medicine is a self limiting profession.  The AMA determines how many
doctors are availabe to keep a limited resource, limited. Thus the
$280/hour radiologist.

You leave with close to $200,000 in debt if attending a private
school.  Primary care pays, in most regions, under $100,000/yr.  When
you have that kind of debt, lower paying primary care jobs aren't
enticing.

My bitter two cents.
