Why do the payors reimburse at such a high rate for dubious value test such as KNOW ERROR and compensate us so little for our diagnosis which remains the gold standard for proper therapy ???? :>{

Effective lobbying/leadership on their part and lousy lobbying/leadership on our part.

This may not answer your question, but there was a prior thread on this a couple of years ago...

Know Error

 

[AZpath]

They really pay? I thought this was a kick back scheme for Urologists to charge patients. MC cover it?

 

[WEBB PINKERTON]

I thought Know Error was known as No Payment.

Anyone know what Medicare pays for Veracyt afirma test? I heard it was a lot.

I can smell the stench of corruption from here! Sex changes will be free. Afirma Gene Expression Classifier is covered. Your child's antibiotic? That will be 500$!

Next time you order Afirma on a patient that is heading to surgery anyways, think about the costs!

Republicans can blame obamacare all they want but we have been heading off a cliff way before it's inception. Our field is full of waste and it has to end.
