Senate Passes Bill With Medicare Cap Exceptions, Physician Fee Schedule.



Legislation passed by the Senate on Wednesday contains two important provisions for physical therapy patients and providers. The Tax Extenders Act of 2009 ( HR 4213) extends the therapy cap exception process until December 31, 2010; freezes payments at the 2009 level under the Medicare physician fee schedule, preventing the 21.2% reduction until September 30, 2010.



The bill now has to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed by the president before becoming law.
