Bush Reverses Medicare Reimbursement Cut

President George W. Bush saved the day for physicians who receive Medicare reimbursements. Last week, he signed legislation that will reverse a 5.1 percent reduction in Medicare reimbursements. Current reimbursements rates will be maintained, and physicians who report quality-of-care data will see a reimbursement increase of 1.5 percent. (Medical News Today)

Last month I told you that Congress passed the bill. President Bush signed it into law and reportedly said, “This is a good piece of pro-growth legislation. With all these steps, we’re working to improve the health and prosperity of the American people and to keep our economy growing.”
