FAQ: What’s In The House’s Proposal To Fix Medicare’s Payments To Doctors
on Mon, 2015-03-23 00:00 lisabeth
It’s make-or-break time for a Medicare “doc fix” replacement.
The House is likely to vote this week on a proposal to scrap Medicare’s troubled physician payment formula, just days before a March 31 deadline when doctors who treat Medicare patients will see a 21 percent payment cut. Senate action could come this week as well, but probably not until the chamber completes a lengthy series of votes on the GOP’s fiscal 2016 budget package.
