We describe the changes to the amounts and factors used to determine the payment rates for Medicare services paid under the OPPS and those paid under the ASC payment system. Also, this final rule updates the requirements for the Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program, Rural Emergency Hospital Quality Reporting Program, Ambulatory Surgical Center Quality Reporting Program, and Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program. We also summarize information received in response to a Request for Information on potential modifications to the Safety of Care measure group in the Overall Hospital Quality Star Rating methodology. In this final rule, we are also finalizing our proposal to narrow the description of "custody" in the Medicare payment exclusion rule and to revise the special enrollment period criteria for formerly incarcerated individuals. We are also finalizing our Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) continuous eligibility provisions. We are also finalizing the proposal to reduce the review timeframe for standard prior authorization requests for certain covered outpatient department services paid under the OPPS from 10-business days to 7-calendar days. Further, this rule finalizes updates to the Conditions of Participation (CoPs) for hospitals and critical access hospitals (CAHs) in an effort to advance the health and safety of pregnant, birthing, and postpartum women. This rule also finalizes our proposed policy to separately pay Indian Health Service (IHS) and Tribal hospitals for high-cost drugs furnished in hospital outpatient departments through an add-on payment in addition to the all-inclusive rate (AIR) under the authorities used to calculate the AIR starting January 1, 2025. Finally, we are finalizing exceptions to the Medicaid clinic services four walls requirement for IHS and Tribal clinics, and, at state option, for behavioral health clinics and clinics located in rural areas. 89 FR 93912 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2024-11-27/2024-25521 2024-25521 fr27no24-11 RIN 0938-AV35 4120-01-P CMS-1809-FC https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2024-11-27/2024-25521 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-11-27/html/2024-25521.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-11-27/pdf/2024-25521.pdf Diseases Health Facilities Medicare Health Professions Laboratories Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Rural Areas X-Rays Hospitals Aid to Families with Dependent Children Grant Programs-Health Medicaid Supplemental Security Income (Ssi) Wages Administrative Practice and Procedure Health Insurance Privacy 683 p. 93912 94594 89 FR 93912 Title 42 Part 406 42 CFR Part 406 Title 42 Part 407 42 CFR Part 407 Title 42 Part 410 42 CFR Part 410 Title 42 Part 411 42 CFR Part 411 Title 42 Part 416 42 CFR Part 416 Title 42 Part 419 42 CFR Part 419 Title 42 Part 435 42 CFR Part 435 Title 42 Part 440 42 CFR Part 440 Title 42 Part 457 42 CFR Part 457 Title 42 Part 482 42 CFR Part 482 Title 42 Part 485 42 CFR Part 485 RIN 0938-AV35 Medicare and Medicaid Programs: Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems; Quality Reporting Programs, Including the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program; Health and Safety Standards for Obstetrical Services in Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals; Prior Authorization; Requests for Information; Medicaid and CHIP Continuous Eligibility; Medicaid Clinic Services Four Walls Exceptions; Individuals Currently or Formerly in Custody of Penal Authorities; Revision to Medicare Special Enrollment Period for Formerly Incarcerated Individuals; and All-Inclusive Rate Add-On Payment for High-Cost Drugs Provided by Indian Health Service and Tribal Facilities; Federal Register Vol. 89, Issue RULE 2024-25521 II DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 2025-01-01 CMS-1809-FC 4120-01-P 2024-25521 Final rule with comment period.
