Has anyone heard if the 9.9% reduction for outpatient (not hospital) has

gone through?

I talked to my congresswomen's office last week. She is aware of the 9.9%

reduction. The bill to extend the exceptions for several diagnosis on Medicare

patients and stop the 9.9% payment reduction was coupled with the bill to

increase medicade coverage for children. This bill may not pass and if does

not, the Medicare cap will return( capping services at $1740) and the 9.9% fee

reduction may happen. Let you representative know that the exception process

for Medicare patients is important and could they separate this bill from the

other one for a vote. I did. PT, Achieve Physical Therapy,
