Has everyone seen this? Absolutely insane number to drop a test by, esp with only giving us a two month heads up.

With this change coming Jan 1, 2013, a standard CTS would be making 65% less per patient, or $425. That is an astronomical decrease in NCS reimbursement.

I really hope AAN & AANEM can team together to stop this from happening.

I don't believe any of my posts involved anger. 1st post was to a student asking about PPACA/Salary for neurology, I figured he should be aware. 2nd was on a thread about PPACA. The two people had a good discussion and I quoted the neurologist because I know he would probably get an email from the forum when I quoted him. I figured he would either have some more knowledge or at least would be informing him. 3rd one was this general post.

I personally don't believe that is cross posting. The information provided was relevant to each discussion.
