The Deep State slashed Medicare payments for a proven, non-invasive therapy. Patients are already paying the price.
Unelected bureaucrats in Washington have finalized policies gutting Medicare coverage and reimbursement for Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IGSRT), a gentle, non-invasive treatment that seniors rely on to treat skin cancer without surgery.
No vote. No Congressional approval. The Deep State made this call.
The Deep State has delivered a one-two punch to seniors. First, a coverage policy eliminated Medicare coverage for IGSRT in certain regions, without Congressional input or patient voice. Then, cuts to Medicare payment rates slashed reimbursement so severely that providers can no longer afford to offer the treatment.
When reimbursements fall below the cost of care, providers have no choice but to stop offering it. Clinics close. Patients are left with nowhere to turn, and no choice but more invasive, more expensive procedures.
This is what happens when Washington makes medical decisions instead of doctors.
The President can stop this. Tell him to step in, reverse these payment cuts, and restore access to care for seniors who are running out of options.
Your message takes 30 seconds. For a patient, it could mean everything.
