Medicare Program; Town Hall Meeting on the FY 2023 Applications for New Medical Services and Technologies Add-On Payments

摘要

This notice announces a Town Hall Meeting in accordance with the Social Security Act (the Act) to discuss fiscal year (FY) 2023 applications for add-on payments for new medical services and technologies under the hospital inpatient prospective payment system (IPPS). The United States is responding to an outbreak of respiratory disease caused by the virus "SARS-CoV-2" and the disease it causes "coronavirus disease 2019" (abbreviated "COVID-19"). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Town Hall Meeting will be held virtually rather than as an in-person meeting. Interested parties are invited to this meeting to present their comments, recommendations, and data regarding whether the FY 2023 new medical services and technologies applications meet the substantial clinical improvement criterion.
