CMS has scheduled an April 25, 2017 call to discuss new data reporting requirements for clinicians in selected states who furnish global surgery services, as authorized by the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). Specifically, the 2017 Medicare physician fee schedule (MPFS) final rule established a data reporting requirement for practitioners furnishing specified global procedures in Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, and Rhode Island, beginning July 1, 2017. CMS intends to use the reported data and other information sources to establish payment rates under the MPFS. Registration is required to participate in the call.
