In 2008, the OIG plans to review several areas of interest to ASC Review readers:
  • the appropriateness of payments and oversight for interventional pain management, which now accounts for $2 billion in Medicare billing annually;

  • the appropriateness of ASC payment rates and the new rate-setting methodology;

  • patient care and safety in physician owned hospitals;

  • coding on transfers versus discharges;

  • areas with high density of independent diagnostic testing facilities and of high utilization of ultrasound;

  • several issues related to long-term-care hospitals; and

  • issues related to reassignment of physician payments and benefits.
