Alliance Alerts CMS to the Harmful Impacts of Wound Care Service Payment Reductions Proposed in the CY2022 Physician Fee Schedule and Hospital Outpatient Payment Rules
September 2021
– The Alliance of Wound Care Stakeholders voiced opposition to payment cuts that would negatively impact wound care providers and their patients in recent comments to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) proposed CY2022 Physician Fee Schedule and proposed Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (HOPPS) regulations. The Alliance
challenged cuts
to surgical procedures, physical therapy services, disposable negative pressure wound therapy and compression payment as well as
provided recommendations
to remove barriers to CTPs. The final regulations from CMS are expected to issue in November.
