Planning is underway for the Fifth Annual Revenue Integrity Symposium, and this is one event you won’t want to miss taking an active role in. This year, we gather October 6–7, 2020, in Westminster (Denver), Colorado. RIS is NAHRI’s national conference—your chance to gather with likeminded professionals from across the country to make lasting connections while learning the latest strategies to excel in your career. And what better way to showcase your passion for revenue integrity and your ever-evolving skillset than getting up on stage and presenting to an audience of your peers.
The American Hospital Association (AHA) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recently filed a lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for continuing to reduce payments for hospital outpatient services provided in grandfathered, off-campus provider-based departments (PBD) in the fiscal year 2020 Outpatient Prospective Payment System final rule.
CMS is automatically reprocessing 2019 hospital claims for certain services provided at grandfathered off-campus provider-based departments (PBD) after a federal judge vacated portions of the 2019 outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) final rule. However, the agency has filed an appeal and the same federal judge declined to strike down cuts for those services planned for 2020.
