Cambridge, MA (WorkersCompensation.com) - A new FlashReport from the Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) examines recent trends in payments to ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in Georgia and the role of recent fee schedule changes, including changes to Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) reimbursement rates, which are the basis of the Georgia workers compensation outpatient fee schedule.
“While focused on a single state, this analysis has application beyond Georgia, as several states tie reimbursement for facility services conducted in the ASC setting to Medicare rates. Therefore, this is a helpful case study of one state s experience incorporating Medicare changes into its workers compensation fee schedule for ASC facility services,” said Ramona Tanabe, executive vice president and counsel of WCRI.

Whitehouse said potential witnesses tried in vain to contact the FBI, and it appeared that the FBI did not review information gathered through a tip line. “This ‘tip line’ appears to have operated more like a garbage chute,” Whitehouse wrote.
