Provider-Based Changes!!

Effective March 10, 2008, CMS has changed the rules on outpatient therapeutic services rendered in provider-based locations. CMS now states that if the services are furnished at a department of the hospital which has provider-based status, the services must be rendered under the direct supervision of a physician who is treating the patient. Direct supervision means the physician must be present and on the premises of the location and immediately available to furnish assistance and direction throughout the performance of the procedure. It does not mean that the physician must be present in the room when the procedure is performed. This will have a significant impact on provider-based services. Please ensure that your provider-based staff and physicians are aware of this change immediately! Attached is Transmittal #82 for reference of the entire instruction.
