You need to get paid properly for surgical procedures on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient-Only (IPO) List, according to Mary Beth Pace, vice president of care management at Trinity Health, and also the special guest during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays.
Pace, in making the statement, was referring to rules and regulations set forth in the Federal Register for Medicare in 2024. She also alleges that some Medicare Advantage (MA) plans are not abiding by some of those rules and regulations. Pace says all MA plans need to abide by the IPO and reimburse correctly.
But does your facility have the processes in place to ensure that you are being paid correctly for surgical procedures on the IPO? Be sure to listen in order to find out.
