Due to what is considered the pending passage of legislation that will once again set aside the scheduled 21.3% pay cut to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, CMS has taken the unprecedented step of extending the current hold on processing of claims, which was set to expire today, through this Thursday, June 17th.

This current hold affects services from June 1st, 2010 and after. If for some reason legislation is not passed by Thursday, the claims hold will be lifted on Friday and claims will be processed with the cut.
