I was scanning over the recent article on cnn about the 2007 federal budget while studying for my neuroscience exam and saw something that piqued my interest.
It said that although they took out the 4% cut of physician reimbursement in the Medicare/Medicaid program, there will be a reduction in the reimbursement to radiologists.
I know there are people out there that have a much more immediate interest in this than I, so my question is do any of you current or ex-radiology residents know anything about this and what this says for the trends in radiology. I don't really know what to think at this point if it is true. I'll be applying for radiology anyway.
Here's the direct quote from this article: "Physicians were spared a 4 percent cut in Medicare fees, but radiologists and home health care providers participating in the program would face cuts in their scheduled payments."
