Claims Will Be Paid at Correct 07 Rates, CMS Assures Doctors January 15, 2007
Pathologists and other physicians can rest assured that their Part B claims for services on and after January 1, 2007, will be paid at the new rates mandated by Congress, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services says. In enacting the Tax Relief & Health Care Act (P.L. 109-432) last month, Congress approved a zero update to physician fees, averting the 5% cut scheduled to take effect under the statutory update formula.
