Wiki April 1 2016 CMS total joint billing

[PLAIDMAN]

I work for independent ortho surgeons.

We are being told (by a rep) that with this new rule the hospitals will do the "billing" for total joint replacements for OUR providers ?

I cant seem to verify this? I don't think it is accurate info.

Can anyone direct me to guidelines for private practice surgeons regarding this new rule? Where to find WHICH 67 cities it will be starting?

thanks
Dawn
