While you have only two weeks left to prepare your hospital-affiliated practice for the three-day billing rule set to cut physician payments July 1, practices are no longer charged with deciphering whether they are wholly owned or operated by a hospital and thus subject to the rule. Instead, CMS put the onus on hospitals to determine ownership and implement policies to comply with the rule, said Craig Dobyski, a CMS practitioner services expert, on a June 7 open-door forum conference call.
