Medicare: Hold Claims for 10 days

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.
