Mountain of New Regulations Issued By CMS
Just a tip to my colleagues in health care law. Do not send these new regulations to printer before giving them an eyeball. They are long and if you share a printer you will be buying coffee for your colleagues for at least a week.
True to their nature, there are a number of things that are unrelated to physician payment scattered throughout this poorly indexed document. We have new Stark Law exceptions, changes to “incident to” billing rules, telemedicine reimbursement standards, and a whole host of additional little morsels that we health care attorneys need to locate, study, and update our clients on; all before the next guy down the street beats us to the rap.On November 16, 2015, the Department of Health and Human Services officially published their final rules Revising Payment Policies Under the Physician fee Schedule and Other Revisions to Part B for CY 2016.
Have a pleasant rest of your week gang. Anyone who does not want to wade through all of these regulations can come on back to this blog as we post articles on various pieces of the new rules.
And remember; here at Ruder Ware, Health Care Never Sleeps!
