GME Alert: Unless
Congress acts this year, Indirect Medical Education (IME) payments will be reduced
by 15 percent in FY2003. Teaching hospitals will loose a total of $794 million
in IME payments in FY 2003, or $4.2 billion over five years. If your Senator
sits
on the Senate Finance Committee, please request him/her to include a full roll-back
to the 6.5% IME factor in the Senate Medicare prescription drug bill. You can
follow-up by faxing a letter, but personal contacts are important.
