CONGRESS OVERRIDES MEDICARE VETO!
We are very happy to report that the Senate voted at about 6:25 this evening to override the President’s veto of H.R. 6331, the “Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008.” The final vote was 70-26, more than the required two-third majority of the Senators present. Once again, all those who voted against the override were Republicans, although from listening to the roll call we appear to have picked up four new Republican supporters, including Senators Christopher Bond (R-MO), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Richard Lugar (R-IN), and Roger Wicker (R-MS). This truly was a bipartisan effort to preserve patient access to care. H.R. 6331 will now become law.
The legislation specifies that the 0.5 percent payment update for the remainder of 2008 becomes effective July 1, so the 10.6 percent cut that was to be reflected in claims paid this week will be cancelled (although payments made in the immediate future for services provided on or after July 1 will include the cut). The most current information available on claims processing and payment adjustment issues is posted on the home page of the AMA’s web site, and will be updated as more details become available.
