CMS released provider information on Parts A and B Providers, Costs, Services, and Trends
This week, US CMS has published the third annual release of the Medicare hospital utilization and payment data (both inpatient and outpatient) and the second annual release of the physician and other supplier utilization and payment data. As they did last year, state and national media outlets are expected to publish names and details of top billers in forthcoming coverage of this year’s data.
CMS files can be searched by specialty or by state which allows you to compare yourselves to your peers. For more information please visit here.
As always, ASE will monitor press coverage of this data release in the coming weeks, and will continue to alert our members if any articles emerge that are particularly concerning for echocardiography.
