Industry Notes:
A new home health prospective payment
Published on Tue May 25, 2010
A new home health prospective payment system pricer for 2010 is available for download, CMS says. Thanks to the rural add-on, CMS now has two pricers agencies and their vendors must use -- one for claims from Oct. 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010, and one for claims from April 1 to Sept. 30. Both pricers were updated June 17, CMS notes. The pricers are online at
