At Dobson | DaVanzo, our consultants have a long history of helping clients evaluate and respond to policy changes by providing sophisticated, yet clear, analyses. Our team conducted an analysis to identify possible underlying causes of a significantly decreased prospective payment amount for a particular procedure in a recent final rule. Our analysis replicated CMS’ calculations, using 100% Medicare Fee-for-Service claims data, and provided our client with critical information to further their dialogue with CMS, which ultimately resulted in CMS’ revision of the final rule to increase the payment amount.
