Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 Eliminates 5% Medicare Physician Fee Cut for 2007

By Michael Cassidy on December 13, 2006 Posted in Medicare & Reimbursement

Both Houses of Congress have approved the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, which eliminates the planned 5% Medicare Physician Fee Schedule cut for 2007. The bill now goes to the White House and President Bush is expected to sign it. The bill contained other key health care provisions which we intend to explain in a release prepared for the end of this week. In the meantime, you can get details of the legislation at the website of the House Ways and Means Committee at http://waysandmeans.house.gov/ResourceKits.asp?section=2544
