On January 2nd, 2024, an ASIPP member from Texas brought to our attention a concerning issue, a 46.1% reduction in all ASC payments. This unexpected news prompted immediate action on our part. Acting swiftly, ASIPP and SIPMS reached out to CMS through the office of Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, and CGS MAC Directors by ASIPP and SIPMS, seeking resolution.
CGS, led by Earl Berman, MD, promptly addressed the matter, successfully rectifying and adjusting the rates within 24 hours. All other MACs are still correcting.
Additionally, we want to inform you that a sample table has been generated for Kentucky’s McCracken County.
While Noridian, Novitas, NGS, Palmetto GBA, and WPS still reflect rates at 54% of the National Price, we intend to wait for 24 hours then contact them to expedite the resolution of this issue.
