For the relief of Robert Feiss.
This bill provides a one-time payment of $39,709.66 to Robert Feiss, a primary care physician from Ojai, California, for Medicare incentive payments he missed between 2011 and 2013 due to a coding error. The payment resolves a court-confirmed claim (U.S. Court of Federal Claims, May 30, 2018) that the error - unrelated to his work - denied him proper classification as a family practice provider. The funds are a full settlement, closing all related claims against the government, and restricts attorney fees to no more than 10% of the payment.
