Lobbyists are on notice!

Robert Kennedy considers upheaval to US Medicare doctors’ billing system

Robert F Kennedy Jr is working on plans to rid a doctors’ lobbying group of control over a lucrative part of Medicare billing, as he takes on vested interests in the world’s costliest healthcare system, according to people close to discussions.

Kennedy, who was tapped by Donald Trump last week to run the US health and human services department, has held discussions with advisers about how to remove the American Medical Association from its role in drawing up Medicare’s billing codes, which set doctors’ fees for more than 10,000 procedures, ranging from laboratory tests to chemotherapy.

Reforms of the CPT codes would also represent an existential threat to the AMA, which generates more than half of its $495mn annual revenues from its CPT work and other royalties payments.
