CMS corrects OPPS payment rate for hyperbaric oxygen therapy
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services last week corrected a technical error in the displayed calendar year 2024 outpatient prospective payment system payment rate for APC 5061 (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy). According to the CMS’ online OPPS payment file, the corrected Medicare payment rate for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, starting Jan. 1, 2024, is now listed as $132.21, rather than the $73.64 indicated in the final rule. AHA earlier this month brought the technical error to CMS’ attention, resulting in the correction. View the updated payment file for OPPS and for ASCs. More information regarding the correction of technical errors will be included in a forthcoming technical correction notice.
