FMAP Update
Last week, Senate Democrats came four votes short of invoking cloture on the tax extenders bill that includes the extension of increased federal Medicaid monies through June, 2011. After passing a Medicare physicians’ payment bill on its own instead of as a part of the larger extender package, Senator Max Baucus is encouraged that the larger bill still has the support and momentum needed for approval. The bill is expected to be considered in the Senate this week.
BIAA will continue to monitor the situation closely. If you haven’t taken action on this alert, it’s not too late!
