Dermatology reimbursement cuts
I'm posting this here as an FYI. I'm not here to stir debate. I'm not going to respond back to any posts. I am already a practicing dermatologist so I have no real motivation here other than to provide information.
Dermatology reimbursement is facing massive cuts. You might read or hear people quote 9%, but this is only part of the cut. By 2028, this will be more around 20%.
Private practice derm would be forced to make massive changes if these cuts are not stopped. I don't know what would happen to the job market. I suspect lots of older derms will decide to hang it up early. Many may take the leap and go cash pay. But with the new proposed system, you'll be churning through hundreds of patients per week for mere pennies. Insurance based care was already on a downward spiral, but this is a rapid acceleration of that process.
It is better to be informed than not. That's why I'm throwing this out there. Someone else probably already has in a more technical way.
