June 27, 2008 Senate fails to pass legislation to avoid physician payment cuts H. A. Abella -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Congress may not meet a July 1 deadline to avoid a 10.6% cut in Medicare physician payments after the Senate fell two votes short of the 60 needed late June 26 to cut off debate clearing the way for a final decision on the floor. Despite dire predictions, the bill may be back for a vote after the July 4th recess. "We are disappointed that this issue couldn't be addressed prior to the July 1 implementation of the physician payment cuts," said Timothy P. Trysla, executive director of the Access to Medical Imaging Coalition.
