IMPORTANT MEDICARE UPDATE
Last week, by a vote of 58 to 40, the Senate failed to proceed to adopt legislation to stop the July 1 Medicare physician payment cut. 60 votes were needed. In a procedural move, Senator Reid changed his vote to "No" so that he could call the bill up at a future date. MSNJ believes the bill will be brought back for another Senate vote upon return from the July 4th recess. In the meantime, Michael O. Leavitt, Secretary of Health and Human Services said to minimize the impact of the cut, Medicare would hold new claims for 10 business days. Doctors would therefore not see the lower payments until July 15th at the earliest. Hopefully by that date the Senate will have successfully past the bill reversing retroactively the pending cuts.
