Corollaries:
1.) What if the lab paid the interface fee? Is AC now going to bill me yearly?
2.) If so: In my practice, 95% patients go to BIG Lab, and 5% go to SMALL lab, and I'm not about to shell out two lab yearly subscriptions fees, so I'll need to contemplating cancelling my interface to SMALL lab who won't be happy either after they paid the interface fee. SMALL lab will now have the added expense of faxing all my labs, which at 5% won't hurt my MU stats. An since it is a pain to import faxes rather than the interface to AC, we will drop SMALL lab from the pre-printed choice of labs. While this may make business sense to AC, it creates conflicts for small practices (me) and the kindred small labs we hoped to support.
The ramifications are not good.
