This year, as in past years, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Inpatient-Only List continues to confuse and bewilder so many healthcare professionals. And it’s little wonder: in 2021, CMS removed 500 surgical procedures from the List, only to reinstate most but not all of the procedures for 2022. Today, most Medicare and Medicaid plans follow the CMS Inpatient-Only List. But not all.

Join us this coming Monday when Mary Beth Pace, our special guest on the next edition of Monitor Mondays, will serve as our guide, helping you avoid auditing pitfalls while traversing this tricky compliance territory of inpatient versus outpatient status.
