Medicare Hospital Outpatient Payment Update: Final Rule CY 2019

CMS has shaken up hospital outpatient payment in the past several years, reducing reimbursement for some 340B providers and introducing comprehensive rate reductions for others. In this webconference, we'll examine the details of the CY 2019 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPPS) Final Rule, including changes to payment rates and CMS's site-neutral policy. We'll also cover major developments for ASCs.

• A full exploration of payment rate updates
• Updates to the Hospital Outpatient and ASC Quality Reporting Programs
