House OKs 30-day Medicare pay fix; 21% cut still on for April 1
Effective Mar 18, 2010
Published Mar 18, 2010
Congress may move to adopt another short-term pay fix - widely opposed by medical associations and physician groups - that delays the 21% cut to your payments. On March 17, the House of Representatives approved a bill containing a one-month payment patch carrying current Medicare reimbursement rates until May 1. Your rates are set to drop by 21% on April 1. The bill, the Continuing Extension Act of 2010 (H.R. 4851) now moves on to the Senate.
