Creating & Implementing the Rules for Dialysis
Congress passed legislation last year that will
require CMS to write the rules on the payment policy for dialysis services. Mike
Paget, who has many years experience in the dialysis community will explain how
the renal community can be sure to be involved in the process. Any day now CMS
will publish a "proposed rule" on the new payment policy for dialysis care, in
the Federal Register. The community will have 60 days to comment, after which
CMS will review the comments to establish the final rule. Listen to the show and
learn how you an make an impact and what some of the key issues are.
