Medicare: Hold Claims for 10 days

by Barbara C. Phillips, NP on April 1, 2010

Once again, Medicare is asking Nurse Practitioners and other providers Medicare Provider changesto hold our Medicare Claims for 10 days until Congress can prevent a 21% reduction in reimbursement to providers.  We will not know the outcome until after Congress has a chance to reconvene on April 12 and they approve a pay patch.  However, it’s unclear to me, just how long before we will be faced with this issue again.

If you have not already done so, take a look at your payor mix. Do a bit of forecasting and determine how this will impact your practice overall. You may need to make some adjustments.

I’ll post more as it becomes available.
