CMS Changes to Physician Reimbursement in 2008 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will be decreasing physician fees by approximately 10% in 2008. This has become an annual battle as the law requires a decrease to meet the balanced budget targets. New legislation will need to be passed to stop this process of ratcheting down fees every year. For additional information, please visit www.cms.hhs.gov. San Diego Project Continues On Schedule Titan Health Corporation continues to make progress on its San Diego project.
