Mashup Score: 0Medicare Changes for 2025 Set - 1 hour(s) ago
Under its 2025 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that physicians will be paid, on average, nearly 3% less next year compared with 2024 reimbursement rates. The PFS is the primary method the CMS uses to pay healthcare providers; it relies on a conversion factor to determine how much physicians will be paid based on their costs and time. In addition, Medicare will expand coverage of colorectal cancer screening to include computer tomography colonography and blood-based biomarker screening, which will “remove barriers for much needed cancer prevention and early detection within rural communities and communities of color that are especially impacted” by the incidence of colorectal cancer, according to the CMS.

to provide insight into key elements of TSP stimulation and assessment: modality, instruments, test location, familiarization, train characteristics, and calculations. PubMed, Embase, and Ebsco/CINAHL were searched for studies that measured TSP in adults with musculoskeletal conditions and healthy people. Four hundred six studies were included. Mechanical stimuli were the most commonly used modality (250 studies), followed by thermal stimuli (125 studies). Forty-six different instruments were used. Disregarding studies on widespread musculoskeletal pain and healthy participants, 40 studies evaluated TSP at painful sites, 77 in remote areas, and 66 in both locations. Of the 13 tested locations in patients, the hand (74 studies), lower leg (64 studies), and forearm (59 studies) were most commonly tested. A single practice round was the most common familiarization method (46 studies). Repeated stimuli were applied using 31 different frequencies (0.03-200 Hz) and sustained stimulations ran

Voters in 10 states weighed in on abortion rights this election. Despite the results supporting abortion rights in seven of those states, the abortion landscape won’t change much immediately, as medical providers navigate the legal hurdles that remain to reestablish services.

NEW: Though voters in 10 states weighed in on abortion, access to abortions remains largely unchanged for now, @besables reports. Some measures don’t take effect immediately, and courts must untangle preexisting state laws. https://t.co/3bewKvG5So
