Only days remain until Congress concludes its “lame duck” session. That’s not much time for lawmakers to address a long agenda—but support is building in the nation’s capital to eliminate Medicare’s sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula this year.
Chances are you haven’t been able to read through the nearly 1,200 pages that constitute the 2015 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule final rule released Oct. 31 and published Thursday in the Federal Register.
