Guest guest Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 List Serve, CMS released the final rule for services reimbursed under the MPFS for 2008. One major change is CMS has changed the recertification from every 30 calendar days/1 month to every 90 days beginning January 1, 2008. In addition, qualification standards will be consistent in all settings. Implementation of this change will be delayed until the issuance of manual guidance which CMS expects will occur in mid-2008, but may not go into effect until 2010. There is also material about docuemntation consistencies in all settings. The final rule will be published in the Federal Register November 27, 2007. To see the final rule now, click on the link below and read pages 606-640. There is also additional information about CORF's beginning on page 408. Once all of this information is reviewed, additional e-mails will be sent and the information will be posted on the HPA website. http://www.cms. hhs.gov/Physicia nFeeSched/ downloads/ CMS-1385- FC.pdf Rick Gawenda, PT President, Section on Health Policy & Administration APTA __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
