Easier Medicare Payments for Off-Campus Outpatient Services

This act aims to simplify Medicare payments for certain medical services provided in clinics located outside main hospital buildings. This ensures that citizens using these facilities can expect their visits and procedures to be billed similarly to hospital services, potentially affecting healthcare access and costs.
Key points
Allows certain medical services provided in off-campus outpatient departments to be billed under the Medicare hospital outpatient payment system.
Applies to services where the total payment amount for a specific physician specialty in the previous year was less than $2 million.
These changes are effective from 2022, potentially impacting how healthcare is financed for patients using these facilities.
