As trusted stewards of the #Medicare program, we commend CMS’s CRUSH Initiative, which seeks to root out fraud, waste, and abuse and strengthen the long-term sustainability of this vital program. As @CMSGov reviews comments to the RFI, we urge a targeted, transparent approach that bolsters program integrity without compromising timely patient access or overburdening physicians. ✔️ Refine the WISeR Model ✔️ Put patients over paperwork ✔️ Ensure clear, clinically grounded standards Our letter with @SpecialtyDocs👉 : aans.org/wp-content/upl… @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update @councilsns @ClemensSchirmer

Thank you, Governor @KellyAyotte, for protecting patient safety with your veto of HB 349 and to the New Hampshire lawmakers who voted today to sustain the veto. Applause to @NHMedSociety for leading the effort to keep eye surgery in the hands of highly trained physicians. AMA is proud to work alongside you, @aao_ophth and NHSEPS. #NHLeg #nhhouse #nhstatehouse spr.ly/6016B6Ijbj
