Proud to coauthor this CSNS resolution with @DrJessicaCampos @DrDiGiorgio @cscla examining site-of-service reimbursement disparities and their impact on neurosurgical care delivery.
Current reimbursement structures may drive care away from independent & ambulatory settings toward hospital-owned systems — impacting costs, access, and practice sustainability.
This resolution calls for a structured policy review and data-driven advocacy to support equitable, value-based reimbursement across care settings.
Important step for the future of neurosurgery and patient access.

If insurers are denying or altering care through prior auth, they’re not just “managing utilization”—
They’re practicing medicine.
So why is the physician the only one carrying malpractice risk?
Accountability should follow decision-making.

Bipartisan momentum on Medicare reform 👇
The Provider Reimbursement Stability Act (H.R. 8163) tackles flawed budget neutrality in the Physician Fee Schedule:
✔ Raises trigger threshold
✔ Limits payment swings
✔ Uses real utilization data
A step toward stability physicians desperately need.

Looking forward to speaking at the @CaNeuroSurgeons California Association of Neurological Surgeons (CANS) annual meeting on key policy & @CMAdocs CMA updates impacting CA neurosurgeons.
Socioeconomic advocacy matters—because legislation, reimbursement, & scope decisions directly shape how we care for patients and sustain our profession.
