In addition to the projected reductions due to the SGR, CMS also proposes a multiple procedure payment reduction policy (MPPR) that would result in significant reductions in payment for outpatient therapy services. Specifically, CMS proposes to make full payment for the therapy service or unit with the highest practice expense value and payment of 50 percent of the practice expense component for the second and subsequent procedures or units of the service furnished during the same day for the same patient.  The work and malpractice components of the therapy service payment would not be reduced.  The proposed multiple procedure payment reduction policy would apply to both the services paid under the physician fee schedule (PFS) that are furnished in the office setting and those services paid at the PFS rates that are furnished by outpatient hospitals, home health agencies (Part B), skilled nursing facilities (Part B), comprehensive rehabilitation facilities, and other entities that are paid by Medicare for outpatient therapy services.  It is estimated that if the multiple procedure payment reduction policy were implemented, payment for outpatient therapy services would be reduced by approximately 13% in addition to the projected SGR payment cut for CY 2011.

APTA is gravely concerned with the magnitude of these proposed reductions in payment, and believes that CMS’s proposal to apply the multiple procedure payment reduction to outpatient therapy services is based on flawed presumptions and has no justification. APTA will aggressively work to stop implementation of the proposed MPPR policy and the SGR payment reductions.

CMS also includes extensive discussion in the proposed rule of several potential alternatives to the therapy caps that could lead to more appropriate payment for medically necessary and effective therapy services that are furnished efficiently. They solicit public comments on this proposed rule regarding all aspects of these alternatives.

CMS will accept comments on the proposed rule until August 24, 2010 and will respond to them in the final rule to be issued on or about November 1, 2010.  APTA will submit extensive comments in response to this rule and work with its members on various advocacy strategies to avoid this unsustainable and unjustified payment cut.

To view the rule in its entirety, go to the following link:  www.federalregister.gov/inspection.aspx#special

Following that vote, the chamber passed a $23 billion piece delaying Medicare physician fee schedule cuts through the end of 2011. This provision increases payment rates by 2.2% for the remainder of 2010 and increases payment by 1% in 2011.  After 2011, the rates would return to a negative update.

The provisions will now be sent to the Senate, however the Senate has adjourned for the Memorial Day recess, leaving the legislation unaddressed until June. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have stated that they will hold claims for the first 10 business days of June to avoid disruption in the delivery of care and payment of service to physical therapists.
