ASCA Payment Resources Updated to Reflect Medicare Correction Notice

ASCA Payment Resources Updated to Reflect Medicare Correction Notice

Late Friday afternoon, CMS released a correction notice to the 2019 hospital outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS)/ambulatory surgical center (ASC) final rule.

As anticipated, CMS corrected the multiple procedure discounting errors. In addition, there were changes to many payment indicators.

ASCA has updated the rate calculator and other members-only payment resources to reflect these changes. Please make sure you use these rate documents for all services provided on or after January 1, 2019.
If you have questions, please contact Kara Newbury.
Happy Holidays!
