Arent Fox partner Linda Baumann will be a speaker during the American Bar Association's webcast, "The 2009 Physician Fee Schedule: Tomorrow's Payment Issues and More," on July 10 at 12:00 pm ET.

This webcast focuses on The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) release of the 2009 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule. Last year's PFS proposal not only addressed payment policies but also proposed new Stark and anti-markup rules and solicited comments on a wide variety of issues affecting physicians and other providers.

• What is in store for this year?
• Will there be new Stark proposals wrapped up in the box?
• What else will change the landscape for physicians in 2009, and how will that change affect hospital-physician relationships?
