22% Cut in Medicare

22% Cut in Medicare

Lunsford, Gerald

6/28/2010

Thanks for all your response;
I've included a few of the responses:

1-This is in reference to physician private practice cuts, not O & P.
To read more go to MGMA.com and you can see they are lobbying against this.

2-I think you are thinking of the 21 percent cut for MDs, not us.

3-So far I have heard that the cut affects MDs and therapy (PTs and OTs.) Nothing confirmed however.

4-Doc Fix Delaying Medicare Pay Cuts Is Law Until November 30
processing....

June 25, 2010 - President Barack Obama signed into law today the long-debated doc fix that delays for 6 months a 21.3% cut in Medicare reimbursements to physicians and instead provides a 2.2% rate increase, retroactive to June 1.
Obama signed the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 Friday morning before leaving for an economic summit in Toronto, Canada, the White House press office announced.


Thanks again for all your responses.
