The Department of Social Services is pleased to announce approval by the Division of the Budget for increases to fees for selected procedures to help improve women's access to diagnostic and preventive services. The enhanced procedures include mammography, family planning, and certain gynecological procedures. It is anticipated that enhanced reimbursement for early diagnostic and treatment services will help prevent the development of more advanced disease conditions and the need for the more expensive treatment of them. The fee increases seek to maintain existing participation of office based practitioners who in the past declined participation due to inadequate reimbursement.
