- Next steps on MA advocacy and insurer accountability
- What, if any, changes has your organization observed with respect to MA plans or coverage of MA claims since the new rules took effect 1/1?
-
Are MA plans complying with the Two Midnight Rule? If
not, what are the barriers or plan rationales for denying or downcoding
inpatient care to observation?
- Are plans applying internal coverage criteria (e.g., InterQual or MCG) to evaluate inpatient admissions on top of the FFS Two Midnight Rule criteria?
- When plans are applying internal coverage criteria, is it publicly available, transparent, and compliant with the standards of evidence CMS requires?
