Below is the FINAL 2023 CMS fee impact analysis for image-guided procedure specialists performing services in Office/OBL (POS 11) and ASC (POS 24) environments. This data is based on the results of the last minute Omnibus Spending Bill that resulted in CMS’s 2023 MPFS Final Rule.

Executive Summary:

  • The POS 11 impact average is 5% reduction.
  • POS 24 is mixed with some increases and decreases.
  • In general, most procedures pay more for POS 11 than POS 24, but the gaps are tightening.
  • Prepare Now – Tighten up ops, get payments at time of service, prevent prior auth denials, ensure reports are well documented.
  • StreamlineMD is here to help.
