W&M Unanimously Passes SGR Repeal Bill Following Last-Minute Tweak

W&M Unanimously Passes SGR Repeal Bill Following Last-Minute Tweak-insidehealthpolicy: The House Ways & Means Committee on Thursday (Dec. 12) unanimously approved physician payment reform legislation after Chair Dave Camp (R-MI) revised the bill a day earlier to avert a revolt from surgeons by including a 0.5 percent pay increase. The Senate Finance Committee, which worked jointly with W&M on SGR-repeal legislation, marked up a version without the 0.5 percent pay increase Thursday, but had to work through dozens of amendments prior to a final vote.
