NAPH Submits Value Based Purchasing Comments to CMS - March 15, 2011
Last week, NAPH submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on the agency’s proposed rule on the Medicare Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program. Comments were due March 8. CMS will now consider the comments of NAPH and other stakeholders before issuing final regulations, likely later this year. Medicare VBP payment withholds and incentive payments are set to begin in fiscal year 2013. For more information, please contact Xiaoyi Huang at xhuang@naph.org.
