Evolving Reimbursement in On- and Off-Campus
Provider-Based Departments


Reimbursement for off-campus provider-based departments is not as straightforward as it used to be. The 2017 outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) final rule and Section 603 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 call for an alternate payment methodology for off-campus provider-based departments. Under the new law, CMS adopted the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and a new modifier (-PN) for “non-excepted” services, but the basis of payment and claims edits will still be the OPPS. The new payment methodology is a severe reduction for these services. Hospitals face revenue and compliance problems if they do not properly identify provider-based departments and services.

Join expert speaker Kimberly Anderwood Hoy Baker, JD, CPC, for this 90-minute program as she discusses the changing landscape of provider-based department reimbursement, including increased packaging of services and the alternate payment system under the MPFS that CMS plans to implement for certain off-campus departments in 2017 under Section 603.

Join us live on Tuesday, November 22, from 1:00–2:30 p.m. Eastern
