2012 IPPS Final Rule Explained
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by: Revenue Cycle Institute
Presented on September 29, 2011
The sheer volume of new payment information in the 2012 IPPS Rule makes the rule difficult to navigate—and once you find what you need to know, it can be hard to decipher CMS' "government speak."
This 90-minute audio conference is your life line. Our experts comb the rule and pull out the information you need to know. You’ll learn what the new proposals mean for IPPS payment in FY2012 as well as how the readmission reduction and value-based purchasing programs will affect future payments.
