'Doc Fix' Is Back
WASHINGTON — The infamous "doc fix" is back. If it becomes reality, home care advocates again fear the government will come looking for ways to make up the revenue shortfall.
This time around, the fix would amount to a "freeze" as codified in the proposed bill S. 1776. The measure would repeal the current Medicare physician payment system at a cost of about $247 billion over 10 years.
