| Notice Regarding Proposed Rule for New Prospective Payment System for Renal Dialysis Facilities (CMS Message 200911-17) The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has published a Notice in the Federal Register (CMS-1418-N) extending the comment period for a proposed rule published in the Federal Register on September 29, 2009 (74 FR 49922). The proposed rule would implement a case-mix adjusted bundled prospective payment system (PPS) for Medicare outpatient end-stage renal disease (ESRD) dialysis facilities. The proposed ESRD PPS would also replace the current basic case-mix adjusted composite payment system and the methodologies for the reimbursement of separately billable outpatient ESRD services. The comment period for the proposed rule, which would have ended on November 16, 2009, is extended to 5 p.m. on December 16, 2009. CMS is also extending the availability of the audio recording of the October 23, 2009 ESRD PPS Town Hall Meeting. The audio recording will be available through December 16, 2009. To access the recording, dial 1-800-642-1687 and, when prompted, enter conference ID: 33239635. |
