Sponsor: JOHN LEWIS (D-GA)
(This measure has not been amended since it was passed by the Senate on December 8, 2010. The summary of that version is repeated here.) Medicare and Medicaid Extenders Act of 2010 - Title I: Extensions - (Sec. 101) Amends title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act (SSA) to set the 2011 update to the single conversion factor in the formula for the physicians' fee schedule at zero (thus freezing the physician payment update for 2011). Requires the conversion factor for 2012 and subsequent years to be computed as if the zero update for 2011 had never applied.
