SCAI Signs On to Waive Budget Neutrality Requirements Amid COVID-19 Pandemic | SCAI

SCAI joined with other medical groups in requesting financial relief for physicians amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In the letter, the group respectively urge Congress to waive the budget neutrality requirements stipulated in Section 1848(c)(2) of the Social Security Act for the finalized E/M code proposal for a period of no less than five years. This much-needed action by Congress will provide a critical reprieve for a broad scope of healthcare providers facing substantial payment reductions in the coming months.
