Regulation Summary |
This notice extends the deadline for nominations of members to the Advisory Panel on Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) Groups (the Panel). The original request for nominations was published in the Federal Register on February 25, 2005. (70 FR 9336) Six vacancies will exist on the Panel as of March 31, 2005. The purpose of the Panel is to review the APC groups and their associated weights and to advise the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the Secretary) and the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) (the Administrator) concerning the clinical integrity of the APC groups and their associated weights. The advice provided by the Panel will be considered as CMS prepares its annual updates of the hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) through rulemaking. The panel was recently rechartered for a 2-year period through November 21, 2006. |
