Health Law 360: New Rules Addressing Physician Payment And Outpatient Procedures On Public Display
Houston partner Susan Feigin Harris authored an article for the November 16 edition of Health Law 360 titled, "New Rules Addressing Physician Payment And Outpatient Procedures On Public Display."

The article focuses on the "final rules applicable to payment for hospital outpatient services and physician services for calendar year 2007 [which] were released and put on public display by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)."

According to Feigin Harris, "Included in the final outpatient prospective payment system rule are provisions that would link quality improvement measures to payment similar to the focus on quality standards adopted in the inpatient prospective payment regulations previously published by CMS earlier this year."

Stated Feigin Harris: "CMS estimates that hospitals will receive an average 3% increase in Medicare payments for outpatient services in 2007 due to changes in this final rule."

Feigin Harris goes on to detail additional aspects of the rules, and explain that "the final rule applicable to physician services provides for a 5% reduction in physician payments. The final rule caps payment rates for the technical component of imaging services at the amount paid in hospital outpatient departments, in accordance with the Deficit Reduction Act.
