This week's Medicare updates include the Medicare Claims Processing Manual Chapter 15 Update; the Assistant Inspector General for Evaluation and Inspections Office testifies before congress; revision of the Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) Manual; and more!
This week's Medicare updates include the 2018 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) and Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Payment System proposed rule; the 2018 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and Other Revisions to Part B / the Medicare Shared Savings Program Requirements and Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program proposed rule; the Federal Healthcare Fraud Takedown; and more!
Hospital providers will need to look beyond the OPPS proposed rule for policies regarding 2018 reimbursement, as the 2018 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule includes a policy that could once again have significant payment impact on non-excepted, off-campus provider-based departments.
