CMS Unveils Proposed Changes to Part D Drug Policies
WASHINGTON -- The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced several new policies aimed at lowering drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries, but critics say the savings may be quite modest and that the proposals may reduce beneficiaries' access to needed drugs.
"Foremost in our mind was the impact on patients and ensuring affordability and access to prescription drugs," CMS administrator Seema Verma said Monday on a phone call with reporters. "From day one, President Trump has made it clear that lowering prescription drug costs is a top priority ... and CMS is hard at work to make the president's vision a reality, because the status quo is unacceptable."

Regenerative Medicine is revolutionizing the field of Pain Management. "Stem Cells" has become the new buzz word among patients who are actively seeking non-traditional approaches for pain relief. Although regenerative procedures are not covered by insurance, many patients are willing to pay out of pocket for these game changing procedures.
Evidence in the literature is favorable to date, and practice-based evidence is strong. Performed by the right hands and by following the FDA guidelines, these procedures can potentially be life changing for your patients.
This CME activity will review the latest research in Regenerative Medicine and discuss how it might best be incorporated into your pain management practice.
Participate in this webinar to learn the latest evidence-based information about Regenerative Medicine and how to seamlessly add this new technology to your practice!
Dr. Atluri is a pioneer of stem cell therapy in the Cincinnati area. He is one of the very few in the country performing intra-discal and subchondral stem cell procedures to treat back pain and joint pain. He gives national talks teaching other physicians about stem cell therapy. He is also a co-editor of one the largest text books about Regenerative medicine.
He is certified in Regenerative Medicine by
