CMS 2024 Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule: Rehab Therapy
Summary
Spanning a length of over 1,200 pages, the Rule isn’t exactly weekend reading, but it spells out the future of regulatory compliance for clinicians who plan to accept Medicare payments in the next year. If you’ve followed the direction of regulatory transformation in U.S. healthcare over the last several years, you’ll know that CMS’ goal is to sunset traditional MIPS and transition all clinicians to MVPs. The Final Rule now requires all providers, except social workers, to adopt certified EHR technology (CEHRT) as part of Promoting Interoperability. This change is part of CMS’ goal to move U.S. healthcare into an optimized, digital age where providers collaborate to create better outcomes, using shared patient information. Measure 502: Improvement or Maintenance of Functioning for Individuals with a Mental and/or Substance Use Disorder This measure represents the percentage of patients aged 18 and older with a mental and/or substance use disorder who demonstrated improvement or maintenance of functioning based on results from the 12-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) or Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) 30 to 180 days after an index assessment.
