Reimbursement Alert
Congress passed and President Obama signed into law (December 21, 2009) a provision to delay the scheduled 21.2 percent Medicare physician payment cut until March 1, 2010. The cut was slated to take effect January 1, 2010, due to mandated adjustments in the conversion factor under the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula that governs physician payment. This two-month delay gives Congress the opportunity to address physician payment reform next year. SCCT will be calling on you to contact your lawmakers on this important issue. Watch for grassroots alerts early in the new year. Your voices count most!
