UPDATE: On June 24, 2010 the House and Senate passed legislation to further delay the Medicare cuts until November 30, 2010. More here.
*****
Congress has yet to pass a bill delaying the June 1, 2010 21.2% reduction in physician reimbursement, but most believe it will happen and be effective retroactively.
CMS has said it is anticipating a further delay in Medicare fee schedule cuts, so they have “instructed contractors to hold claims containing services paid under the MPFS for the first 10 business days of June.”
More information on my post here.
Stay tuned!
