Could We See RUG-IV This Year After All?

We heard back in March that RUG-IV's implementation date was being pushed back to October 1, 2011, but a bill making its way into Congress would restore the original implementation date of October 1, 2010.

The bill, known as the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act, would also extend a temporary increase to the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) through June 30, 2011 and delay the Medicare physician pay cut for three years.

Congress is expected to vote on the bill this week.
