PCPCC Comment Letter: Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems

PCPCC submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services supporting changes in the Outpatient Prospective Payment and Ambulatory Surgical Center Payment Systems that seek to align payment rates across settings, so that patients can choose the setting that best meets their needs. PCPCC wrote that the transition to alternative payments that reward value requires a site-neutral payment system that does not incentivize a specific setting.
