This webinar will provide AMGA members with an understanding of the CY 2027 Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) Proposed Rule, including the following key topics:
~Proposed 2.4% increase to OPPS and ASC payment rates, reflecting a 3.2% hospital market basket update reduced by a 0.8 percentage point productivity adjustment
~Continued 2 percentage point payment reduction for hospitals that do not meet Hospital Outpatient Quality Reporting Program requirements
~Proposed reduction in 340B drug payment rates (to ASP minus 33.4%) and a significantly larger 340B settlement recoupment than in the CY 2026 final rule
~Proposed expansion of site-neutral payments to include certain imaging services without contrast furnished by off-campus provider-based departments, with an exception for rural sole community hospitals
~Proposed expansion of the ASC Covered Procedures List by 618 procedures
~Proposed elimination of the alternate device pass-through pathway for FDA Breakthrough Devices
~How and when to submit comments ahead of the August 31, 2026 deadline
