President Postpones Medicare Physician Cuts
June 15, 2010
CMS to holding claims until Friday
CMS anticipates that Congress will intervene this week to prevent doctors from receiving a twenty-one percent paycut for Medicare related services. In an AMA online poll of nine thousand physicians, seventeen percent have indicated they have already limited the amount of Medicare patients in their practices.
The Administration has released new rules for employer-sponsored plans. The new regulation discourages companies from scaling back health plan benefits. Numerous agencies will be commenting on the rules. It is uncertain when the final rules will be released.
