Back to Rulemaking Home Page

Continues the provisions of the February 10, 2022 Emergency Rule which amended the provisions governing outpatient hospital services in order to provide reimbursement for laboratory testing for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) separately from outpatient hospital surgery fee schedule payments. In addition, this proposed Rule repeals outdated uncodified outpatient hospital rules and amends the provisions governing reimbursement to out-of-state hospitals to ensure consistency with in-state rates.
