Important Medicare Update - Effective July 15, 2008
07.15.08 - The Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 was enacted on July 15, 2008. One important provision of this legislation extends the effective date of exceptions process to the therapy caps until December 31, 2009. Medicare has a list of exceptions in which certain diagnosis codes allow for continued care over the limits set for physical and occupational therapy.
