What is the CMS sequestration for 2024?

Beginning in January 2024, CMS' RDS Center will implement an update to the sequestration policy, whereby the mandatory two percent (2%) payment reduction will be applied at each interim payment request rather than applying the reduction only to the final payment.

The FY 2024 fixed-loss threshold for high-cost outlier cases is $59,873, which is lower than the $94,378 proposed amount but still greater when compared to the $38,518 in FY 2023.

To qualify for outlier payments, a case must have costs above a fixed-loss threshold amount (a dollar amount by which the costs of a case must exceed payments in order to qualify for outliers).

The CLIA application (Form CMS-116) collects information about your laboratory's operation which is necessary to determine the fees to be assessed, to establish baseline data and to fulfill the statutory requirements for CLIA. This information will also provide an overview of your facility's laboratory operation.

Starting in CY 2023, hospital inpatient and observation care by practitioners will be billed using the same CPT codes, CPT codes 99221 through 99223, 99231 through 99233, and 99238 and 99239.

However, it also finalized a fixed-loss threshold for high-cost outlier cases of $59,873 in FY 2024, as compared to $38,518 in FY 2023; while this final number is lower than the $94,378 the agency proposed, it will still reduce overall net standard payments to LTCHs by 2.9%.

In simple terms, being CLIA certified and CAP accredited ensures your test results are meeting and exceeding industry standards for clinical laboratory testing.

On April 4, 2024, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a final rule that revises the Medicare Advantage Program, Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit Program (Medicare Part D), Medicare Cost Plan Program, Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and Health Information Technology ...
