Proposed Changes to Medicare Payments

CMS, who manages Medicare, has recently announced some proposed changes to how Medicare reimbursements will be made.  These proposals are targeting such areas as:  Hospital Observations status, Physicians, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Part B drugs, etc.  The various proposals are accepting comments in June.  The main goal of the proposed changes is to reward better patient health and cost efficiency.

You can check back on this blog for updates once these proposed changes have been finalized or go to CMS.gov.
