House Approves One Month "Patch" to SGR
MGMA has reported that the House has approved the Senate bill delaying the 23% SGR Medicare decrease to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule for one month. If signed by President Obama, this will apply only to the month of December, and will not address the mandatory SGR cuts for next year which, without further action, will be a combination of the 23% 2010 decrease and the projected 6% 2011 decrease.
