On Nov. 30, President Obama signed into law the Physician Payment and Therapy Relief Act of 2010, which delays the scheduled 23 percent cut to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule until Jan 1, 2011. This one-month delay will provide Congress with additional time to develop a longer-term Medicare Fee Schedule solution for 2011.
The ACA is working with its congressional contacts to halt the implementation of these reductions; however, we need your support. Please visit the ACA Legislative Action Center so you can quickly and easily create an e-mail message to send to your congressional representatives, urging them to block the implementation of drastic fee cuts and develop a long-term solution to the fee schedule problems. Please make your voice heard today on this very important matter.
