05 May, 2010 WorkersCompensation.com
Date: | Thursday, May 27, 2010 |
Time: | 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. |
Place: | Elihu M. Harris State Office Building, Room 2 1515 Clay Street Oakland, California 94612 |
When the Official Medical Fee Schedule was enacted in 2004, Medicare's ASC fee schedule was outdated. Therefore, DWC decided to adopt the same fee schedule for ASCs as outpatient hospitals, which is 120% of the Medicare rate for outpatient surgery. In 2008, Medicare updated its rates for ASC services, and DWC is now considering basing its ASC fee schedule on the Medical ASC fee schedule. This proposal is part of DWC's 12-point plan to monitor and help control medical costs in California's workers' compensation system.
The division is interested in hearing comments, suggestions, and options regarding the ASC fee schedule from interested parties at the stakeholder meeting.
