Well, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is holding Medicare payments until Friday (6.18) to see if Congress acts this week to stop the 21% Medicare reimbursement cuts to physicians that was expected to begin today. The Senate is wrapping up debate on the tax extenders bill, which will hopefully include provisions that will stop the Medicare cuts. The tax extenders bill may also possibly extend an increased FMAP bump that Colorado has been receiving to help with the increased Medicaid caseload.
