******MEDICARE CUTS*******
Two proposed Medicare cuts. One huge blow to skin cancer care in America.
If radical changes proposed by CMS and its leader, Dr. Mehmet Oz, are allowed to go into effect, Medicare funding that today helps cover the cost of running a dermatology practice will be slashed by 16%.
And Medicare funding that today enables seniors to get an office visit and a procedure on the same day - instead of having to come back another time - will be cut by 50%!
All told, Medicare funding for skin cancer care will be reduced by nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars - every year!
