Subject: RE: [GPCG_TALK] Re: Faster Medicare Rebates Thanks Patricia
Is the meeting still on after the financial review broke the story this week that the Medicare swipe card process is being at least delayed until banks other than the C.B.A. come to an agreement with the government? I would guess if the cost is going up (a little or a lot?)from .23 cent per transaction deal with the CBA, the total cost will be heading over $60 to $80 million per year to be paid to the banks for something GAP billing would do for free? Have you heard anything?
