The recent publication of the 2011 Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule has introduced severe payment cuts for services to Medicare and TRICARE patients...projected to surpass 30 percent for sleep physicians on January 1, 2011!
WASHINGTON -- The Senate has passed a $15 billion bill that would block the impending 25% cut in the Medicare payment rate to physicians and instead keep rates steady through 2011.
The cut was scheduled to take effect on Jan. 1, 2011.
