IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE UPDATE:
Senate Bill Extends Cap Exceptions Process, SGR for 2 Months
On Saturday, December 17, 2011, the Senate passed the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011 (HR 3630) with amendment that would extend several Medicare provisions for 2 months, requiring Congress to take up the issues again in February 2012.
Specifically, the Senate's amendment would extend the therapy cap exceptions process by continuation of the current KX modifier at $1,880 and keep the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) at the current payment rate until February 29, 2012. The Geographic Practice Cost Index (GPCI) also would be extended at the current level until March 1, 2012.
