The Medicare reimbursement rates for 2025 remain unchanged as a result of the Continuing Resolution (CR) passed by the U.S. Congress and signed on March 15. Thus, the downward spiral of Medicare reimbursement continues with physicians receiving nominally 2.83% less this year than in 2024. Radiology practices will see somewhat different results depending on their practice pattern, as we reported in our recent article analyzing the real impact of the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS).

Firstly, it should almost go without saying, but: you can do this. I’d also like to acknowledge that nothing below is particularly noteworthy or novel advice. The Core Exam is like the other high-stakes multiple choice exams youve taken except for the fact that it has more pictures. And, of course, the question of how to pass the Core Exam after a failure is mostly the same as asking how to pass it in the first place.

What is quality care, and how do you define it? I suspect for most people that quality is like pornography in the classic Supreme Court sense you know it when you see it. But quality is almost assuredly not viewed that way when zoomed out to look at care delivery in a broad, collective sense. Instead, its often reduced to meeting a handful of predetermined outcome or compliance metrics, like pneumonia readmission rates or those markers of a job-well-done as defined in the MIPS program.

Columbia University researchers in New York City have reported that worsening depression in older adults is related to higher levels of Alzheimers disease pathology, specifically the accumulation of tau protein. The finding is from an analysis of 300 participants who underwent multiple F-18 flortaucipir tau PET scans between 2015 and 2022 and suggests depression could be a modifiable risk factor for the disease, noted lead author Daniel Talmasov, MD, and colleagues.

About 40% of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetime, and patients are getting younger. At the same time, the cost of treatment continues to rise, with employers spending 8.5% more on cancer care for each employee than they did last year. The best thing employers can do for their employees and business tomorrow is to invest in cancer detection and care today.
