Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 What a difference a day makes. On Wednesday, December 8th, the Senate passed the Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 and this bill was passed by the House of Representatives today, December 9th. The President is expected to sign the bill into law immediately. The bill stops the scheduled 25% reduction in payments for therapy services under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and extends the therapy cap exception process for all of 2011. This means providers of therapy services will be reimbursed at the same rate in 2011 as they were in 2010 except for the 4%-6% negative impact as a result of the Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction policy.
