2013 continues to be another busy year in health policy. Sequestration and other efforts to rein in the budget deficit, along with the continuing implementation of the Affordable Care Act, have created several issues that continue to be of interest, even as proposed rules begin to be released for a number of Medicare payment systems heading into the summer. We'll be assisting various parties in the health care system with understanding these policies, as well as thinking about the impact of larger structural reforms that may be considered as the fiscal debate continues. In addition, our analysts continue to prepare for the rollout of Value Based Purchasing in a growing number of Medicare payment systems, while also assisting clients with analysis of various reimbursement issues. As always, we continue to assist clients seeking to "score" the budget impact of proposed legislation and to help those clients design and draft a variety of proposed policy initiatives.
