CMS recently introduced an important change to the so-called “3-Day DRG Payment Window” that will prohibit hospital owned/operated physician practices from billing for certain non- diagnostic services when a patient is subsequently admitted to the hospital — even if the practice is not provider-based. This new rule is causing health systems to re-evaluate their decisions on provider-based and to rapidly institute compliance safeguards and protocols to avoid improper billing, overpayments, and other legal risks.
Please join Foley and Moss Adams LLP for Changes to Medicare’s “3-Day DRG Payment Window” Policies, during which speakers will discuss the change in the regulations and how they affect providers nationally, including those in states with a corporate practice of medicine bar, such as California, Massachusetts, and others.
The speakers include Cheryl Storey, CPA, Health Care Partner-Hospital Consulting Services at Moss Adams LLP and Larry Vernaglia, Chair of the Health Care Industry Team at Foley & Lardner LLP, who will examine the issue from the accounting/operational and legal perspectives.
CLE credits will be applied for in all applicable states. Foley & Lardner LLP certifies that this activity has been approved for California MCLE credits by the State Bar of California in the amount of one General credit. Foley & Lardner LLP is a State Bar of California MCLE approved provider. Please note that participants must log in to both the teleconference and Live Meeting portions on the date of the event; credit may not be obtained by viewing and/or listening to a program recording after the event.
