CMS Corrects 2012 Medicare Rates
CMS has corrected the 2012 ASC payment rates published in November by the agency, according to an ASCA report.
The corrections fix technical errors in how the costs of certain procedures were determined. The payment rates for some procedures have changed significantly, with a comparison from ASCA available here.
Most of the corrections have little effect on 2012 rates, according to the report.
