AHCA/NCAL Updates; Medicare
 

On September 10, AHCA/NCAL submitted comments to CMS regarding the CY 2025 Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) payment rule. Residents in AHCA/NCAL member communities often require health services covered by the various beneficiary access, coverage, and payment provisions impacted by this proposed rule under Medicare Part B PFS payment policies. 

Overall, the Association provided comments on 26 different policy topics within the following broad categories, either supporting the proposals or suggesting alternative approaches: 

  • Payment Rate Update 
  • Telehealth Policies 
  • Outpatient Therapy Policies 
  • Electronic Prescribing 
  • Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) 
  • Other Policies, including Portable X-ray, Clinical Labs, Dental Services, Hepatitis B Vaccine, and Claim Overpayment Provisions 

We encourage all providers to review the proposed policies and stay engaged. AHCA/NCAL will continue to keep members updated as CMS finalizes the CY 2025 rule. If you have any questions, please contact dciolek@ahca.org for most, and nhammel@ahca.org regarding the MSSP topics.
