Written by MGMA Government Affairs Department, Washington, DC   
Thursday, 18 February 2010 08:15

With less than two weeks before the 21.2 percent cut to Medicare physician payments take effect, the Senate has not formulated a clear legislative strategy to address the issue.

The looming cut in Medicare physician payments is scheduled to take effect on March 1.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) cancelled an instruction it sent to its contractors last fall making policy changes for the date of service (DOS) and place of service (POS) for diagnostic tests. Transmittal 1823 would have required the actual POS and DOS of the professional component of a diagnostic test to be included on the claim, even when they differ from the date and location of the technical component.
