Big changes proposed for Medicare surgery payments
Does this mean that my Doctor would no longer be 'responsible' for my care because the hospital where the surgery is performed will be accountable for my outcome? What if I do not approve of the rehab facility where I am sent post-op? What if the physical therapy rehab plan is not what my Doctor would order? How can 90 days be set as a one-size-fits-all outcome determination? What impact is there for the patient if they are not as-good-as-new within that 90 days? Why does the govt believe they know more than my Doctor?
