The American Gastroenterological Association issued a reminder to GI physicians to contact CMS regarding colonoscopy cuts.

Here are four notes:

1. The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Rule for 2016 includes proposed cuts to reimbursement for colonoscopy.

2. Approximately 500 gastroenterologists have shared their views with CMS.

3. The last day to reach out CMS regarding this issue is Sept. 8.

4. AGA is urging gastroenterologists to let CMS know how the cuts will affect your patients and practice as well as contact their Congress representatives.
