The legislation temporarily reverses the 21 percent Medicare physician pay cut in place since June 1 and replaces it with a 2.2 percent pay update through Nov. 30. The bill now will go to President Obama for his signature. CMS will automatically reprocess claims filed June 1 to 24 that are being paid at the lower rate.

An Invitation To You
As you browse through the new WAO website, we encourage you to explore the pages that illustrate the special expertise of an ophthalmologist in the delivery of medical and surgical eye care. Ophthalmologists are the most highly trained providers of medical eye care, including the prescription of corrective lenses and surgical procedures treating eye diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
What is the WAO?
The Wisconsin Academy of Ophthalmology (WAO) is a statewide professional society representing more than 350 ophthalmologists practicing in every part of the state. The primary purpose of the WAO is to maintain the high quality of medical eye care in Wisconsin by serving the needs of Wisconsin EyeMDs through professional education, practice management and advocacy efforts.
