The 21% Cut in Medicare Physician Reimbursement Has Been Delayed Through March 31, 2010

Filed under: Billing and PaymentScott Thill @ 10:35 pm

On March 2, the President signed the Temporary Extension Act of 2010 (H.R. 4691).  Among other actions, the Act delays the impending 21% cut in Medicare physician reimbursement through March 31, 2010.  The delay buys Congress time to create a more permanent fix to the sustainable growth rate formula that would cause the 21% reduction in physician reimbursement.  You may access the Act here.
