Medicare is proposing to cut payment in half for the exact visit that catches skin cancer early: the same-day skin check + biopsy. Skin cancer is the No. 1 cancer in America. 1 in 5 of us will get it. Caught early, melanoma survival is 99%. Caught late, it’s 35% and $250,000+ in treatment. This cut hits seniors, rural patients (nearly 9 in 10 rural counties have no dermatologist), and veterans (4x the melanoma rate) the hardest. In 14 states, including Idaho, Medicare would pay less than Medicaid for skin cancer care. The rule is NOT final.
