Management Briefing: New Medicare 2009 Outpatient Prospective Payment System Final Rule Changes CD-ROM
Managed Care Information Center, Jan 2009, Minutes: 90
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has announced a final rule establishing Medicare payment and policy changes for services in hospital outpatient departments for calendar year 2009. The changes in the final rule, effective on January 1, will apply to outpatient services furnished by more than 4,000 hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs) in general acute care hospitals, inpatient rehabilitation facilities, inpatient psychiatric facilities, long-term acute care hospitals, community mental health centers, children’s hospitals, and cancer hospitals.
CMS projects that total Medicare payment for Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) will be $30.1 billion during CY 2009, compared with projected payment of $28.5 billion in CY 2008. But the annual OPPS payment inflation update will be reduced by 2.0 percentage points for certain hospitals that do not meet quality reporting requirements. The financial impact of the final rule may reduce or increase reimbursement rates depending on their mix of services and current charging practices.
“In this final rule, we are continuing to pay appropriately for care while working with health care providers as we look for ways to make sure beneficiaries who come in for treatment of one complaint don’t leave with two as a result of adverse events during their outpatient visits,” said CMS Acting Administrator Kerry Weems.
