The

" Temporary Extension Act of 2010 " Extends the Zero Percent MPFS

Update and the Therapy Cap Exception Process

On March 2, 2010, President Obama signed into law the " Temporary

Extension Act of 2010. " Among other things, this law extends through

March 31, 2010, the zero percent update to the Medicare Physician Fee

Schedule that was in effect for claims with dates of service January 1, 2010,

through February 28, 2010. Consequently, effective immediately, claims with

dates of service March 1 and later which were being held by Medicare

contractors will be released for processing and payment. Please keep in mind

that the statutory payment floors still apply and, therefore, clean

electronic claims cannot be paid before 14 calendar days after the date they

are received by Medicare contractors (29 calendar days for clean paper

claims). Read
