Bush administration freezes Medicare doctor cuts plan
The Bush administration frozen a 10 percent Medicare doctor cut to allow Congress time to act after July 4 recess. CMS will hold claims for services on or after July 1, delaying payments until July 15 at earliest. The move follows mounting senior anger and a near party line vote in the House on Medicare changes.
