VESAP® 2 Outage Cancelled

In-Office Ancillary Services Exception Threatened
As Congress continues to look for ways to avoid additional "fiscal cliffs", the Congressional Budget Office is examining how much the government would save if it eliminated the in-office ancillary services exception (IOASE) from the physician self-referral law, particularly for advanced imaging services. Based on a Government Accountability Office analysis, the savings could be substantial. As in the past, SVS is working with other specialty societies to strongly oppose IOASE elimination for imaging services.
