Urge Congress to Oppose Nursing Home Medicare Payment Cuts for 2010

Health care reform legislation drafted in the House would eliminate the 2010 Medicare payment update nursing homes are scheduled to receive as of Oct. 1. Similar provisions in the health care reform bill under development in the Senate Finance Committee are also expected. Medicare payment cuts would add to the Medicaid reimbursement reductions that skilled nursing facilities in many states have experienced as states grapple with growing budget deficits due to the recession.
