AHA comments to MedPAC on 2024-2025 cycle
The AHA Aug. 13 commented to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission in anticipation of the commission’s 2024-2025 cycle. The AHA urged MedPAC to carefully consider the negative consequences for beneficiaries, providers and communities if Medicare payments to 340B hospitals are cut; reconsider its pursuit of inpatient rehabilitation facility-skilled nursing facility site-neutral payment policy; support updates to physician reimbursement that more adequately account for inflation; and recommend repealing in-person visit requirements for tele-behavioral health services.
