Comments to Proposed 2023 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPPS)

The Coalition submitted comments to CMS' proposed CY 2023 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System expressing significant concerns with the "skin substitute" provisions of the proposed rule. "CMS states that changes to the coding and payment of skin substitutes are being made to provide clarity and consistency...Yet the changes being proposed do the exact opposite of these goals. The Agency continues to provide incremental changes without providing details on the larger picture on how skin substitutes will be paid. In fact, the changes that the Agency is making provides little clarity – and actually the opposite – it creates more confusion," the Coalition told CMS.
