| 07-3509 | Medicare Program: Proposed Changes to the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and CY 2008 Payment Rates; Proposed Changes to the Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment System and CY 2008 Payment Rates; Medicare and Medicaid Programs: Proposed Changes to Hospital Conditions of Participation; Proposed Changes Affecting Necessary Provider Designations of Critical Access Hospitals | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would revise the Medicare hospital outpatient prospective payment system to implement applicable statutory requirements and changes arising from our continuing experience with this system. In this proposed rule, we describe the proposed changes to the amounts and factors used to determine the payment rates for Medicare hospital outpatient services paid under the prospective payment system. These changes would be applicable to services furnished on or after January 1, 2008. In addition, this proposed rule would update the revised Medicare ambulatory surgical center (ASC) payment system to implement certain related provisions of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA). In this proposed rule, we propose the applicable relative payment weights and amounts for services furnished in ASCs, specific HCPCS codes to which the final policies of the ASC payment system would apply, and other pertinent ratesetting information for the CY 2008 ASC payment system. These changes would be applicable to services furnished on or after January 1, 2008. In this proposed rule, we also are proposing changes to the policies relating to the necessary provider designations of critical access hospitals (CAHs) that are being recertified when a CAH enters into a new co-location arrangement with another hospital or CAH or when the CAH creates or acquires an off-campus location. Further, we are proposing changes to several of the current conditions of participation that hospitals must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs to require the completion and documentation in the medical record of medical histories and physical examinations of patients conducted after admission and prior to surgery or a procedure requiring anesthesia services and for postanesthesia evaluations of patients before discharge or transfer from the postanesthesia recovery area. | 2007-08-02 | 2007 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/08/02/07-3509/medicare-program-proposed-changes-to-the-hospital-outpatient-prospective-payment-system-and-cy-2008 | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-08-02/pdf/07-3509.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This proposed rule would revise the Medicare hospital outpatient prospective payment system to implement applicable statutory requirements and changes arising from our continuing experience with this system.
