On March 31, Congress passed the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014 (H.R. 4302). The Act focused on the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) and, for the 17th time, suspended the annual proposed Medicare physician pay cut. The bill also included seven lines that changed the implementation date for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS from Oct. 1, 2014, to “not before Oct. 1, 2015.”
