Medicare SGR Cuts Held Up in Senate, What Happens Now?
You may be already aware that the Senate failed to vote on a measure to delay the Medicare 21.2% cut for physician fee schedule services. The cuts went into effect today, March 1, 2010. However, the government did act as CMS instructed its contractors to hold claims for 10 days in the hopes that this will be fixed in that time frame.
However, you may still submit all Medicare claims with dates of service prior to March 1, 2010 as those claims will not be affected.
