Tolerance: the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. Hence, tolerance can only exist WHEN someone disagrees with you. Otherwise, it's agreement. When you make a joke that we think reflects poorly on all of us, some of us might not tolerate it. You're a martyr in your own mind.
Spare me the theatrics. #wwc and jagsi are popular punching bags here. You and turaco overplayed your cards in a quest to pander to the sdn crowd and it backfired. Turaco even claimed his views are mainstream, implying he didn’t think he would get blowback for views.

Didn't need to. ER is much more acute care. We usually know who is in network before we even schedule the consult
And just to be clear this 1-1-22 date is for all sites in the nation, meaning the trial period for just those bunch of zip codes is applied to everyone now?
I would be surprised if this was the case.
As i understand it is is only the 40% "fortunate enough" to be in the zipcode.
At this point, it isn't even clear when those 40% will be " fortunate." Guessing another can will be kicked down the road when next year finally rolls around
I think according to the plan/law, The APM is like Thanos. It is inevitable.
And, I. Am. Iron. Man.
The truly devastating part of the apm is not being able to bill for treating multiple mets within 3 month period.
Has that not been always the case with the 90 day global ?
No. Can't bill e&m codes but absolutely can bill tx codes for new areas
No. If you treat a femur and then 2 months later 8 gy x1 to shoulder, you still get reimbursed afaik. Maybe you don’t get paid for the followup, but certainly the treatment
All this time I thought it was charity !
No, if you bill a different anatomic ICD10 code you can bill. E.g. brain met and bone met
What if it is a new bone met after an old bone met?
Shouldn't be a problem as long you aren't treating them the same day
Yeah... NoPodiatry up +1%
It must be exhausting to be focused on physician advocacy. Most of your efforts are focused on staving off cuts which then are reapplied the next year, rinse and repeat. I guess job security is good?
I don’t get the effort put into staving off cuts? The mdaccs of the world just increase their prices 10+ % yearly anyway. That is why health care expenditure outpaces inflation.
They are PPS exempt anyways... Do the cuts even affect them?
It's not THAT much of a joke when you're sitting there as a young 18 year old and thinking, "All my life I have dreamed one dream: to become a radiation oncologist. I don't care if I have to work on an Indian Reservation and if every friend I have gets a job in his or her preferred region. As God as my witness I will become a radiation doctor."
