Developed under the auspices of the ASA Committee on Economics and the ASA Washington Office of Governmental and Legal Affairs for use by ASA members, this presentation provides several lines of argument and supporting data to demonstrate to insurers and colleagues in other specialties that Medicare rates undervalue the specialty’s services.  This presentation is available as a booklet with copier-ready transparencies for overhead projection or in electronic version as a Microsoft PowerPoint (Macintosh PowerPoint 4.0 or Windows PowerPoint 7.0) file.  (You must own a copy of the PowerPoint software program.)
