At public meetings in Washington, D.C. last week, members of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission discussed the adequacy of current Medicare payments and whether they need updating in the next fiscal year.
Among the payment areas MedPAC reviewed were inpatient services, outpatient services, physician and health professional services, ambulatory surgical center services, skilled nursing facilities, home health services, inpatient rehabilitation hospitals, long-term-care facilitiies, outpatient dialysis services, and hospices.
