The SGR formula that meant 26.5% cuts in reimbursement has been averted. But nobody is popping the champagne just yet. It is a temporary reprieve and only means that physicians can continue seeing Medicare patients, without the fear of working for free. Till the end of this year.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Left to pick up the Tab !<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As the healthcare industry, should by this time know, no reform comes without a heavy price to pay! Hospitals have been forced to face the brunt of the \u201cDoc fix solution\u201d. Heavy operational costs and compliance pressures are giving hospitals, sleepless nights. An additional pain of decreased payment is certainly not what they need, at this juncture.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Bedridden Hospitals\u2026 <\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many feel that the recently released deal to avoid the fiscal cliff is only going to help in pushing pressing problems, down the stream. The 10 million dollars reduced Medicare payment to hospitals, coupled with the ACO cuts, can lead to bedridden hospitals.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Both Peter and Paul are unimpressed !<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The latest move by the government has come in for scathing criticism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With Chif Kahn the president of the Federation of American Hospitals, to famously quoting that it was like \u201crobbing Peter to pay the fiscal cliff of Paul\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Though physicians are happy about escaping from the deathly blow of almost 30% cuts in reimbursement. The growing need and frustrating lack of a permanent, workable solution has left neither physicians nor hospitals particularly thrilled with the new arrangement.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><b>Can hospitals manage to stick their neck above water ?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the present climate it is important for hospitals to take a stock of the situation and act quickly. Hospitals will have to create an annual budget that excludes unnecessary costs. Utilize every resource available whether it is manpower or healthcare IT, to the maximum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Operational costs need to be reduced to at-least break even for most hospitals. Outsourcing is an option that can cut back on expenses. It requires smart out of the box thinking. Identifying and eliminating money drainers.
