Legal Alert!
Far Reaching Stark Changes on the Horizon!?! |
|
On July 2, 2007, the Centers
for Medicare and Medicaid Services ("CMS") issued
"Proposed Revisions to Payment Policies Under the
Physician Fee Schedule and Other Part B Payment Policies
for CY 2008" (the "Proposed Revisions"). While
these proposed revisions are not the awaited Stark III
regulations, and do not promulgate any final
regulations, they are nevertheless noteworthy in that
they contain extensive discussions by CMS of its
concerns and thinking about a number of important
subjects. Even if only some of CMS's proposed
revisions to the regulations were adopted, many
presently common practices would be prohibited or
restricted. Moreover, CMS is seeking comments and
guidance on ways to further limit what it perceives to
be abusive under the existing already restrictive Stark
provisions.
