Voting in the latest Part B News poll question has been pretty steady for the last couple days, showing a majority of you and your peers support CMS's plans to put an end to consultation billing. Yes, these polls are unscientific, but 38 out of 70 people (so far) say "get rid of the consults."
But now I'm wondering why? What are your thoughts? Feel free to comment below.
We wrote about the proposal, found in the proposed 2010 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, a couple weeks ago. Several said the billing rules are confusing, and CMS admitted it was not always on the same page with billing experts at the AMA.
