This week’s note is about the changes to the 2-Midnight Rule in the 2016 OPPS proposed rule. In the 2016 OPPS Proposed Rule, CMS announced that October 1, 2015 they will be transitioning the medical review of inpatient admissions from Medicare Administrative Contractors (MAC) to Quality Improvement Organizations (QIO). This policy will limit the future review of inpatient admissions by the Recovery Auditors and may be related to CMS’ withdrawal of the Request for Quotes for new Recovery Auditors announced July 10.
