A change in the Social Security Act, effective January 1, 1998, permits Medicare beneficiaries and physicians to contract privately outside of the Medicare program. Under the law as it existed prior to January 1, 1998, a physician was not permitted to charge a beneficiary more than a certain percentage in excess of the Medicare fee schedule amount (limiting charge).
