SGR status update
A congressional conference committee composed of Senate and House members from both parties will convene the week of Jan. 23 to discuss legislation to prevent the 27.4 percent Medicare physician payment cut scheduled for March 1. The committee will also tackle the more controversial extension of unemployment benefits and a cut in the Social Security payroll tax for another year. Lawmakers could not reach common ground on these issues in December 2011 when they approved a 2-month extension to avoid disruptions on Jan. 1 and provide time for further negotiations on a larger legislative package.
