2.2% payment increase retroactive to June 1; cut delayed until Dec. 1
Effective Jul 1, 2010
Published Jul 1, 2010
Congress finally passed a Medicare payment patch to delay the devastating 21.3% cut to your reimbursements for six months and replace it with a 2.2% increase retroactive to June 1. CMS has yet to announce how it will reprocess your June claims paid at a reduced rate, but the HHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) says you will not need to collect any additional amounts from patients who received care from you between June 1 and June 25, which is the date the pay fix was signed into law.
