- Posted: 6/18/10 – Special Update - From MGMA, www.mgma.com - Source: Washington Connextion
Senate unable to pass 6-month Medicare payment provision; CMS to now begin processing held claims at -21.3%
The Senate was unable to pass the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act (H.R. 4213) late Thursday night, despite reducing the length of the Medicare physician payment provision from 19 months to 6 months in order to reduce the overall cost of the bill. The legislation includes a provision calling for a 2.2 percent increase to Medicare physician payment for claims with dates of service of from June 1 through Nov. 30. Since the Senate failed to pass the bill this week, Medicare contractors may start today to process June claims at the -21.3 percent rate. The Senate is not expected to hold further votes this week.
Earlier this week, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) extended the Medicare claims processing hold through June 17. CMS and the Office of Inspector General are expected to release guidance on medical practices' responsibilities regarding limiting charges and patient co-pay requirements as impacted by the Medicare payment cuts as well as the geographic payment adjustments called for by the recently enacted healthcare reform law soon.
MGMA encourages members to continue urging Congress to comprehensively address Medicare physician payment cuts through the immediate repeal of the Medicare sustainable growth rate formula.
Look for further updates in the MGMA Washington Connexion.

- The AMA and other medical societies have joined in a sign-on letter seeking support of funding for health care quality measure development. Specifically, the medical societies ask the House and Senate Appropriations Committees Chairmen and Ranking Members to fully fund an authorization of $75 million dollars that was set aside in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to identify gaps in quality measurement and develop patient-centered measures to fill those gaps.
