The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Proposed Rule for the 2025 calendar year (CY).

This published information outlines significant changes impacting Medicare payment policies for hospital outpatient services. Key proposals include adjustments to payment rates, updates to the Inpatient-Only (IPO) List, and revisions to the Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) groups. The rule also introduces measures related to tackling health inequalities, broadening access to mental health services, and fostering safe, effective, and patient-focused care. These updates aim to ensure more efficient, equitable, and high-quality outpatient care across the healthcare system, according to Angela Comfort, who will be the special guest covering the pending changes during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays.
