Medicare Outpatient Payment Weights Review
On August 25, 2025, the Advisory Panel on Hospital Outpatient Payment will meet virtually to advise the Secretary about the clinical integrity of Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) groups and their associated weights. The APC groups and weights are major parts of the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System and the Ambulatory Surgical Center payment system, so the Panel's advice could shape how much money outpatient providers receive.
Supervision of Outpatient Therapeutic Services
The Panel will also advise the Secretary on supervision of hospital outpatient therapeutic services during its virtual meeting on August 25, 2025. That advice could influence how those services must be supervised, which may affect how hospitals and outpatient centers organize and deliver therapeutic outpatient care.
