The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).  The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is working hard to expeditiously implement the new law.  The law’s Medicare fee-for-service provisions have varying effective dates and our first priority is to address provisions with the earliest effective dates.  CMS is committed to assuring Medicare providers are well informed as early as possible.  For that reason, CMS is urging you to be on the alert for notices and instructions from CMS and from your Medicare fiscal intermediary, carrier, or Medicare Administrative Contractor, on forthcoming policy and operational changes as we implement the PPACA.
