Free Webinar, Thursday August 15th

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS)Proposed Rule. This annual regulatory update contains a significant section specifically for RHCs, this year proposing policies to eliminate productivity standards, remove Hemoglobin/Hematocrit from the six required lab services, reform care management billing, and much more.

We encourage you to join us for an upcoming webinar on Thursday, August 15, 2024 at 2 PM ET where the NARHC D.C. team will cover all of these provisions in detail.

As a reminder, this is a proposed rule, and following a 60-day comment period, finalized provisions will be released in November and most will go into effect January 1, 2025.

This webinar will offer time for Q&A, and your participation will help to ensure that NARHC’s comments represent the RHC community’s complete feedback on all of these significant proposals.

You must register in advance for the free webinar!

Date: Thursday, August 15, 2024, 2 PM – 3:30 PM ET

  • Nathan Baugh, NARHC Executive Director
