President Obama Delays Medicare Physician Payment Cuts Until March
Also from SleepReview e-magazine:
President’s Signature Delays Medicare Physician Payment Cuts Until March
On December 21, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010 (HR 3326), which included Medicare provisions.
With the President’s signature, HR 3326 delays the scheduled 21.2% Medicare payment reduction for physician services until March 1, 2010, Michael G. Apolskis, PC, reports on his Medicare Update Web site. The payment cut was previously scheduled to take effect January 1, 2010.
According to Apolskis, each year since 2002 the sustainable growth rate formula has resulted in negative updates in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. However, CMS has taken action or Congress has enacted legislation each year to avoid the negative updates.

Such a convoluted government. Now, does that make sense? This is part of the Dept of Defense appropriations act. Sheesh! Doesn't Congress even understand a straight line and common sense? They can't seem to do anything straight forward and right up front.

as a lawyer myself, i can say with confidence that our government is so f'd up because it is run by lawyers who are thinking like lawyers, instead of doing the people's work. i'm sure the bills make sense to the couple dozen Congressmen and women who actually read and write the darn things. but they will never make sense to you and me. they never even try to have them make sense to you and me.
