Medicare Payments to Doctors Paused Due to Government Shutdown
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has paused Medicare payments to doctors as negotiations related to the government shutdown continue.
CMS announced the pause on its website, but did not specify when it would end. The pause is a result of Congress needing to reauthorize certain Medicare payment programs, including those related to telehealth and rural providers, which have become tied to the overall deal to reopen the government.
It’s not clear why all physician payments have been cut off rather than just the programs that need to be renewed.
CMS did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
