2019 Outpatient Prospective Payment System Update

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released the final rule to update the Medicare fee-for-service outpatient prospective payment system and ambulatory surgical center payment system effective Jan. 1, 2019. The rule has a number of significant troubling developments for hospitals.  At this program, faculty from Hooper & Lundy will take a deep dive into the areas that will affect hospitals and their clinics.  We’ll look at: OPPS payments; site neutral payments and new changes affecting hospital clinics; changes to the quality reporting requirements; HCAHPS modifications; and the 340B drug discount program. There’s still time to register for this important program this Friday, Dec. 7 from 9 a.m. to noon at MHA's Conference Center in Burlington. Register here.
