ESRD Transition Budget Neutrality Adjustment - Correction
CMS issued an Interim Final Rule, which amends the ESRD transitional budget neutrality adjustment factor finalized in the CY 2011 ESRD Prospective Payment (ESRD PPS final rule published on August 12, 2010. This adjustment will result in more accurate payments in CY 2011. Specifically, section 1881(b)(14)(E)(iii) of the Social Security Act requires that an adjustment be made to payments for renal dialysis services provided by ESRD facilities during the transition so that estimated total amount of payments under the ESRD PPS, including payments under the transition, equals the estimated total amount of payments that would otherwise occur under the ESRD PPS without such a transition.
