It's a pleasure speaking with you and I hope to connect again down the line.
This is Carly Beam with the Becker Spine and Orthopedics Podcast, and I'm thrilled to be joined today by Dr. Morgan Lorio, a spine surgeon and past president of the International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery.
He's been keeping a close eye on all the latest policy shifts happening in healthcare and specifically how they relate to spine care.
So I'm really excited to discuss with him today.
Dr. Lorio, thank you so much for being here.
So before we kick things off, if you could just introduce yourself and share a little bit more about your background.
Great.
And today we're discussing your recently submitted analysis titled, The Price of Silence.
And this takes a really hard look at reimbursement policy, consolidation, and the future of spine surgery as a whole.
To start off, can you just tell me about what compelled you to write this?
Okay.
Yeah, and in your paper, you cite this nearly 34% inflation-adjusted decline in Medicare reimbursement for some of the most common spine procedures since 2000.
Can you talk more about what's driving this erosion?
Yeah.
And you're kind of hooking on what you're saying about efficiency.
I know you are particularly critical about CMS's 2026 efficiency adjustment.
Can you just kind of dive in deeper on why that's such a red flag?
Got it.
And, you know, I'm interested in kind of hearing more about how this is affecting just kind of the employment landscape as well.
You described this idea of the vanishing independent surgeon.
