We Fought for Our Residents and Fellows . . . And Won!

Thanks to the initiative of the NYSNS Board, medical residents and students are now included in the Healthcare Worker Bonus (HWB) Program. NYSNS asked for a cooperative effort around the State, and organized medicine made sure that our legislators heard. Now it’s time to learn more about the program HERE. A webinar on the topic is available HERE. The qualifying resident/fellow must work for a qualified employer, be in an eligible title listed, and receive an annual base salary of $125,000 or less (excluding any bonus or overtime pay paid by the employer). There are other qualifications too. There is also an email address (NYSWorkersBonus@health.ny.gov) and call center at (866) 682–0077. Review the Frequently Asked Questions regarding the HWB Program for the latest information.

Tell the Governor

Ask Governor Kathy Hochul to veto the wrongful death bill that could raise doctors’ medical liability premiums by 40 percent. NYSNS has taken a stand, and you can help by sending an instant message to ask Governor Kathy Hochul to veto the Wrongful Death bill. Click HERE.

Stop Steep Medicare Cuts

Because of provisions due to expire at the end of this year, physicians face an over 8% cut in their Medicare payments for 2023 unless Congress again takes action. Late last year, organized medicine persuaded Congress to delay a “perfect storm” of payment cuts that would have totaled 10%. Before 2022 ends, we are asking Congress to do the following: Extend last year’s 3% temporary increase in the physician fee schedule; provide relief for a planned, additional 2023 budget neutrality cut (1.5%); end the statutory annual freeze; provide an inflation–based update for the coming year; and waive the 4% sequester that’s required due to the other, non–Medicare-related legislation. To weigh in, go HERE.
