I talked to a political action person from CAP and they said the Palmetto ruling which will cap IHC reimbursement at 20% for medicare patients is spreading across to the other medicare contractors for CMS. CAP said it is tough to block it.
While not every IHC stain ends up contributing to a case, cutting IHC to reimbursing only 1 in 5 will put us in a bad spot. I'll be forced to pay out of my own pocket to work up some cases properly or forced to not work them up to the present standards.
