Guest guest Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 The Senate today passed a short term fix to several items, one of them being a halt to the scheduled 27.4% reduction in payment for services reimbursed under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule through February 2012. This will set up the showdown between the House, Senate, and President when the House and Senate reconvene in January 2012. There was no mention of extending the therapy cap exception process in 2012 or application of the therapy cap to the hospital outpatient setting. http://news.yahoo.com/senate-oks-short-term-extension-payroll-tax-cut-144921264.\ html Stay tuned for updates.
